I’m a health visitor and midwife. Sorry that I’ve said that several times I don’t want to pull a Mia ahaha I just only really comment when we have debates like this because I’ve learnt all this obviously. But it’s really annoying when you see comments like this where people say that co sleeping is the worst thing and so dangerous and shouldn’t be done. Because it’s not true. It can be done safely and should be encouraged to do safely. Because in reality most parents end up cosleeping because it’s the only thing that works for baby (a mother getting no sleep is far more dangerous than bed sharing) and it’s important to teach that it is affective and done safely because otherwise people just do it or do it wrong like putting the Moses basket on the bed like someone said before. Of course we recommend cots the most because there’s a lot more dangerous factors in cosleeping such as if you’ve drank or taken medication because people keep that kind of thing secret from health visitors so it’s safer to say cots. But I’ve known many many cases of injuries and deaths from cots. I even had a case about 4 years ago of a newborn who died from getting caught on the bars & another where they suffocated because the parents put pillows like a bumper. No way is safer as the other it isn’t so black and white. Both are dangerous because babies are fragile but it’s silly to assume everyone can use cots and not co sleep because that’s not the reality. We recommend a cot because it’s safer generally, I bet if we had the resources to look at each case more specifically we’d recommend cosleeping much more. But you are spreading a lot of false information here. That pillow technique isn’t safe at all. You need to stop thinking you are so much better than everyone when you aren’t. You’re as bad as Mia.
