Cosleeping
Cosleeping refers to the practice of parents and children sleeping in close proximity to one another, typically in the same bed or room. This sleeping arrangement is common in many cultures and is believed to promote bonding between parent and child. Proponents of cosleeping argue that it can make nighttime breastfeeding easier and promote a sense of security for the child. However, critics raise concerns about the potential risks of suffocation or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) associated with cosleeping.
