The child should sleep with his mother until 3 years. What about Dad? Stay away, or you can't avoid trouble!

What could be more important to moms than health? For this they are ready for everything and even more. Pediatricians came to the conclusion that a caring mother should put the child to sleep not in a separate crib, but next to herself. Babies are supposed to sleep with their mother until they are 3 years old, otherwise unexpected problems may occur.





Why is it so harmful to sleep a child in a separate crib and how to make everyone comfortable? "Site" He already knows the answers to those questions.

Dr. Niels Bergman of the University of Cape Town says newborns should sleep on their mother’s breast during the first weeks. And then next to my mom until they're three or four years old. He came to this conclusion after he found that babies in individual cots sleep less and more restlessly than those who sleep on their mother’s breast.





When a child sleeps in a separate crib, his heartbeat speeds up, and the small heart suffers greatly from this. In addition to causing health problems, it can also cause bad behavior in the future and even provoke difficulties in adolescence.





Opinions were divided. For example, British scientists recently published an article that children who sleep with their mother are at risk. They investigated cases of sudden infant death and found that 2/3 of them occurred while the child slept in the mother’s bed.





Bergman says, “When babies die in bed, it is not necessarily the fault of an overturned mother. Suffocation can occur due to other things: toxic fumes, cigarettes, alcohol, large pillows and dangerous toys. And it is impossible to disagree with him, because sudden infant death occurs in children who sleep in a separate cradle.





The study found that only 6 out of 16 children slept peacefully in their cradles. Children who sleep in their cots are less likely to transition from active to restful sleep. This is very important for brain development. Studies confirm that such sleep disturbance It can lead to problems in adolescence.





In turn, Dr. Komarovsky believes that this cannot be the rule for all parents. Every family determines its own sleep system, and this system should be convenient for a particular family. He does not advocate this claim, but he does not say that it is bad.

“First of all, I am in favor of treating all this calmly – without tearing. Is it bad for a child to sleep with his mother? Not bad. If all conditions are met, says Komarovsky. In his opinion, for a safe and comfortable sleep of the child in the bed of parents, it is necessary that the bed meets the necessary requirements: an even hard mattress, no pillow, good bed linen.





He emphasizes that the main thing in all this is the consent of parents with this arrangement of things. Not one, but both parents. “If you and your co-parents are well, then so be it. If it is bad, either change the partner, or move the child to his own bed, says the doctor.

As you can see, the opinions of doctors on this issue are divided and it is quite difficult to draw a common denominator. Only parents can decide where to sleep better.
