In the first days and weeks of your baby’s life, you want them close by at all times. During the night this becomes even more important, especially for mums who need to feel their child next to them, to feed and supervise them. Babies also calm down and feel safer when they feel your presence. This is why co-sleeping is a renowned method amongst the parenting community.

 

WHAT IS CO-SLEEPING?

Co-sleeping is the practice of sleeping next to your baby during the night, especially in the early stages. This may require the use of cribs attached to your bed like the Chicco Next2ME Magic Evo, a separate crib in the same room, or other devices that allow your child to be close to you when sleeping, without sharing the same bed. 

It is important to distinguish co-sleeping from bed-sharing, as both practices involve sleeping near the newborn but differ significantly. Co-sleeping means the baby sleeps in the same environment as the parents but not in the same bed. In contrast, bed-sharing refers to the baby sleeping in the same bed as the parents, often with close physical contact.

Taking appropriate safety measures to ensure a secure sleep environment for your child is crucial. Bed-sharing, however, can present risks such as accidental suffocation or the baby becoming entangled in blankets, pillows, or other objects in the parents' bed.

CO-SLEEPING: THE DIFFERENCES

It is important to distinguish co-sleeping from bed-sharing, as both practices involve sleeping near the newborn but differ significantly. Co-sleeping means the baby sleeps in the same environment as the parents but not in the same bed. In contrast, bed-sharing refers to the baby sleeping in the same bed as the parents, often with close physical contact.

ROOM SHARING

When a baby sleeps in their parent(s) or carer in their own separate sleeping space such as a cot or Moses basket.

BED SHARING

When a baby shares the same bed with an adult for most of the night, and not just to be comforted or fed. 

SOFA SHARING

When a parent or carer sleeps on a sofa or armchair with a baby (remember – this is dangerous)

CO-SLEEPING

A general term for when a parent or caregiver shares a sleep surface with their baby, such as a bed, sofa, or chair.

CO-SLEEPING: THE BENEFITS

Co-sleeping with one newborn in the first months of their life using the Chicco Next2Me Magic Evo or Next2Me Twins for twins, is highly beneficial for both you and your baby.

BREASTFEEDING

Facilitates breastfeeding: physical closeness during the night allows you to respond promptly to your newborn's needs and establish a stronger emotional bond.

SLEEP

Promotes baby's sleep: being close to you during the night can help your baby feel safe, calm and protected, promoting a deeper and more restful sleep.

EMOTIONAL BOND

Strengthens the emotional bond: physical contact can promote the development of a safe and lasting emotional bond for you and your baby contributing to emotional well-being.

CLOSENESS

Sharing the same sleeping environment can simplify the management of the newborn's nocturnal awakenings, allowing you to respond promptly.

 

WHAT AGE SHOULD YOU STOP CO-SLEEPING?

There is no set rule when you should stop co-sleep, as each situation is unique and depends on individual circumstances. Some parents choose to practice co-sleeping only in the first few months, while others may continue to do so for a longer period. It is important to keep in mind that co-sleeping is recommended for the first 6 months of your baby's life, then constantly evaluate the situation, needs and wellbeing of both your baby and family. Should you decide to co-sleep beyond 6 months, Next2Me Forever is the right solution for you.
