Children Sleeping With Parents May Suffer SIDS

Parents are aware that co – sleeping with children is a strict no. But still many parents allow their child to sleep with them. Co-sleeping with parents extends even after the toddlers age. Doctors always advise to avoid co-sleeping and discourage it.

Researchers told that co – sleeping is forbidden to a high extent that a mother wants to get closer to her child. She could not and slept whole night on floor next to the crib of child.
