THE SAFE BEDSHARING
For the breastfed baby

• Night-time breastfeeding stimulates milk production
• Room sharing is a protective factor against sudden infant death syndrome
• Bedsharing, also known as cosleeping, contributes to the initiation, duration and exclusivity of breastfeeding
• Health Canada advises against bedsharing because of concerns about sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)

International recommendations

• Place baby on its back, never alone in an adult bed
• Sleep only in a bed with a firm mattress without blankets, pillows, other children or animals
• The bed should be away from walls and furniture where baby could get stuck
• Place baby in bed away from secondhand smoke and impaired people
• The C-position is optimal for a safe sleep
