“Give Your Newborn Their Own Room” #wait

Infants should not share a sleep surface with their parents due to the increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and accidental suffocation. However, room-sharing—where the baby sleeps in the same room as their caregivers but on a separate sleep surface—is strongly recommended for at least the first six months.

Room-sharing has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of SIDS, as caregivers can more easily monitor their baby’s breathing, respond to any signs of distress, and maintain a safer sleep environment. Having the baby close by also facilitates nighttime feeding and soothing while reducing the risks associated with bed-sharing, such as overheating, entrapment, or accidental rolling. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other health organizations emphasize that keeping an infant in the same room—but in a crib, bassinet, or other safe sleep space—provides the best balance of safety and convenience during the crucial early months of life.
