Many parents never plan to bedshare. But exhaustion, frequent night waking, and the need to feed babies safely at night mean that most breastfeeding families will bedshare at least some of the time.
Research shows that breastfeeding parents often get more sleep when bedsharing, and that planned, informed bedsharing can be safer than unplanned sleep on sofas, recliners, or chairs. Breastfeeding naturally encourages protective sleep behaviors, including the “cuddle curl,” which helps keep babies close, safe, and at breast level.
The Safe Sleep Seven outlines when bedsharing is considered a low-risk option for breastfeeding families: no smoking, sober and unimpaired caregivers, a healthy full-term baby, placed on their back, lightly dressed, on a safe sleep surface, and breastfeeding.
Just like wearing a seat belt, preparing a safe sleep space is about reducing risk, not planning for something to happen. Every family balances risks and benefits differently, and parents deserve accurate information to make informed decisions.
