However, the connection between co-sleeping and SIDS is unclear, and additional research is ongoing. The Nemours Center for Children’s Health Media found some researchers suggest the risk of SIDS actually decreases because co-sleeping parents and infants tend to wake up more often during the night. Co-sleeping supporters also believe the U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) was wrong to warn against bed sharing with a child younger than 2, and claim a parent will not roll over onto an infant because they are conscious of the baby’s presence, even when sleeping.
