Sometimes it helps to see what safe bedsharing looks like. These images have been provided with permission by BASIS.org.uk, Baby Sleep Info Source. A website that provides research evidence about biologically normal sleep for human babies.
One issue that we are constantly facing is bedsharing practices depicted in the media with unsafe situations such as sleeping on the sofa, on pillows or face down on their stomachs. BASIS has provided these images as a way for safe bedsharing practices to be visualised.
Remember bed-sharing is associated with an increased chance of SIDS or accidents if you have taken drugs or alcohol, are a smoker, or have a premature baby.
