:: The Dangers of Sleeping with Baby

You should not sleep with your baby unless you are practicing extended breast feeding. A significant report for the American Pediatrics Association was done by the University of Notre Dame and found that breastfeeding mothers typically sleep on their sides with their arm raised above their baby in ways that prevent overlays, facing their babies more than 90% of the time. I can confirm that this is exactly the way I sleep. Bed sharing has been the only reason why I was able to produce enough milk to feed my children past 3 years and the other currently still at 2.5 years.
