טקסט Storyboard
- The AAP strongly recommends room-sharing until 6 months of age. Your little one will still be close, but in their own safe sleeping area. This reaps the same benefits of co-sleeping while avoiding the harmful risks of co-sleeping.
- But.. I am still concerned with the lack of bonding and attachment. Room-sharing does not share skin-to-skin between the mother and baby.
- Secure attachment is promoted by sensory messages between mother and baby like touch, sound, nurture, responsiveness, and providing basic needs. Co-sleeping is not necessary to the bonding and attachment process of early childhood.
- It seems you're telling me there will be many opportunities to provide safe bonding and attachment with my baby, therefore I do not have to co-sleep in order to provide those to her?
- Correct! We want to avoid the risk of SIDS, suffocation, rolling over on baby, etc. With room sharing, the AAP also says you can begin transitioning your baby into their own room starting between 6-12 months. It's ok if you're not comfortable doing so at this age, but you'll want to start sleep training before the toddler stage to avoid bedtime battles.
- Thank you for all of this. I'm glad I didn't go with my own understanding. I'll always want to do what's best and safe for my little one!
