Can my baby share a room with me?
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that your baby share a room with you for at least the first 6 months, as this has been shown to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Ideally, your baby would room share with you for the first year of life. Sharing a room will allow you to quickly respond to your baby’s needs.

Can my baby share a bed with me?
No. Having your baby sleep in your bed with you can be very dangerous for your little one and should be avoided. Pillows and blankets pose a risk of suffocation. Your baby needs to sleep in their own bed, for safety.
