Housecall for Health: Sharing A Bed With Baby

Sharing a bed with your baby could be less harmful than you think.

FOX’s Karlie Pouliot reports in today’s “Housecall for Health”…

If bed-sharing works for your family, there’s no need to worry about the intellectual or social development of your child.

According to a new study, bed-sharing is not common here in the U.S., and is not recommended when a child is less than one due to the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.  But, if you decide this is right for your family, don’t feel guilty about it – researchers said, in terms of psychological impact, bed-sharing doesn’t appear to be dangerous.
