Ive always felt strongly that fear mongering parents into not bedsharing has not only been an insult to our intelligence, but dangerous!! In an effort to NOT bedshare, sleepy moms nurse baby at night in places other than a safe floor bed (couch, glider or heavy blanketed, high up bed) and, with the oxytocin that comes when you nurse, mom becomes even sleepier, and there is a risk of falling asleep with baby in a truly unsafe situation. Even if there is no intent to ever bedshare, I urge you to check out the safe bedsharing guidelines on my website (titled Sleeping Safely with your Baby) and have a space that you can nurse baby for naps and bedtime that you have the option to share sleep safely in, just in case. commonhealth.wbur.org/2014/12/dire-warnings-against-infant-bed-sharing-backfired
