4 Benefits of Co-sleeping With Your Kids
3. Co-sleeping with your new born reduces the risk of SIDS and other stress related disorder
Your baby spends the first nine months or so safely ensconced in your womb and when delivered has to deal with a thoroughly alien world. When you let your baby sleep alone, it is bound to develop some severe anxiety and stress disorder. Sleeping with you helps monitor the baby’s heartbeat, regulate its body temperature and gives your baby a sense of safety. Research has also proven that the chances of SIDS decrease as the baby sleeps more closely to you.
4. It just increases the family bond
Your kids and you feel more close to each other when you share the same bed. You not only get the physical closeness but to hear each other breathe is a great way to connect with each other. Adults who spent their childhood sleeping in the same bed as their parents experience better bonds with their parents and this is a proven fact.
Co-sleeping with your kids gives you and them a sense of safety. It also increases the physical and mental wellbeing. You just have to know when to make the transition to their own beds or cribs and make the transition as smooth as possible.
