Is co-sleeping actually dangerous? How can it be made safer? It is time to objectively review the data for co-sleeping and evaluate: is it inherently dangerous, or is it associated with dangerous conditions that can be altered? Can co-sleeping actually be beneficial? Trigger warning: Any discussion of sleep safety for babies necessarily involves a discussion of SIDS. This episode particularly dives into the evidence of co-sleeping related SIDS (whether it's actually harmful or protective against SIDS to co-sleep) between timestamp 08:45 to 15:45.
