Bed-sharing brings security for both the baby and the parents (especially for the mother), who sense how their child is feeling and are able to respond quickly to his needs without having their own sleep disturbed.
Paediatrician Dr. Sears says, "Wherever you all sleep best and whatever leaves all of you feeling right is the best sleeping arrangement for your family."
Dr Sears has observed that during bed-sharing:
> babies sleep better
> mothers sleep better
> breastfeeding is easier
> parents and children forge a closer bond.
More information about the benefits can be found on Dr Sears' website.
