Parents in a rush to decorate their kid’s nurseries before the baby comes can slow their roll. A new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that parents co-room but not co-sleep with children up to the age of 1 to protect against SIDS and other sleep-related infant deaths. We took turns rooming in with our first son on a futon in his room, and, woke up with every little grunt and sigh he made. When you are in the same room, there are frequent small awakenings, both for the baby and the parent.
Parents of newborns should share a room (but not a bed) — why?
