Abstract
Infant bed sharing is a common practice in many countries, including the United States.1,2 In a previous analysis of the National Infant Sleep Position Study (NISP), almost 45% of parents reported sharing a bed with their infants at least some of the time.1 Strong associations between bed sharing and sudden infant death syndrome3,4 or unintentional sleep-related death in infants have been established. Occurrences of unintentional sleep-related deaths appear to be increasing.5Keywords
