Cohabiting: Sleeping together is not recommended because of rolling onto the baby and obstructing breathing. Adults sleeping with their child have been the cause of asphyxiation. Better to be safe. A 3rd bed attachment can be placed beside the bed. Remember back to sleep! All the best in keeping your baby safe.
