Our Thoughts on Co-Sleeping

At Baby Delight, we realize that parents ultimately make their own parenting decisions based on individual desires, cultural background, child-rearing philosophies, and simple convenience. While we neither encourage nor discourage the practice of co-sleeping, we appreciate the opportunity to offer a safe alternative for those moms and dads who choose to bring their infant into their bed. We also highly value the recommendations of First Candle / SIDS Alliance and strive to incorporate their guidelines into all of our sleeping products.

Co-Sleeping Recommendations

Please consider the following guidelines for safer co-sleeping with or without the Snuggle Nest:

• Never allow infants to co-sleep with another toddler or child.
• Never allow infants to co-sleep with an adult who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Never allow infants to co-sleep with someone who is obese.
• Never allow infants to co-sleep with an adult who suffers from sleep disorders or someone who sleeps too soundly to awake at an infant's distress.
• Never co-sleep on couches or waterbeds or excessively soft mattresses.
• Never allow infants to co-sleep on the sides of the bed-always place infant in the center of the bed.
• Do not use excessive bedding or pillows while co-sleeping.
• Do not leave an infant unattended on an adult bed.
• Do not place stuffed animals in the adult bed with a bed-sharing infant.
• Consider the use of a pacifier for the first six months, as this has been shown to reduce the incidence of SIDS.
