Hello, today i'll talk about the truth about sleeping with baby, and if this action is or not in accordance with the science.
The Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID) and the Department of Health indicate that mothers should not to : breastfeeding their babies in the same bed, and sleep with them.
As obstetrics we must to educate the community about how breastfeeding in the correct form.
And according to this article that i found in this link http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/oct/16/sudden-infant-death-syndrome-children; the safest place for the baby when its the time to sleep is the cot. And of course, when the mothers want to breastfeed their babys, they must to wake up them, pick them up and sit in a comfortable chair. This is the correct way of breastfeeding, and when this action ends, mothers must to put their babys back in the cot and let them sleep alone.
Why we need to repeat strongly this message??
The British Medical Journal which FSID made a study and find that the 50% of all the unexpected deaths of newborns in the south-west of Englandhad died because their were sleeping with the parents or carers.
And the most worrying of this situation it is that in a survay the 25% of mothers said that they dont knew that bedsharing could increase the risk of a cot death.
So we can conlude that in this cases, the mothers don't had the experience or they simply didn't have the correct education of how breastfeed correctly.
So as obstetrics, we must to promote campaigns. For example, according with the article, in the 90s, the number of cot deaths decreased markedly after a campagns about dangers of bedsharing with babys.
