The Do’s and Don’ts of Room Sharing with Your Baby: A Guide for Parents As a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, I understand that room sharing with your baby can be both a comforting and challenging experience. While the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends room sharing for at least the first six months—up to one year ideally—for the benefits it brings, it’s essential to navigate this time with a balance that promotes restful sleep for everyone involved. Here’s what you need to know about the do’s and don’ts of room sharing. The Do’s of Room Sharing
The Don’ts of Room Sharing
Finding the Balance Room sharing can be a wonderful way to keep your baby close and safe during those early months, but it’s essential to find a balance that works for your family. While sleep experts agree that everyone would ideally have their own sleep space, that’s not always possible. By incorporating strategies like using white noise and creating a small barrier between you and your baby, you can improve the quality of sleep for everyone. Remember, your family’s well-being is the priority. If room sharing is the best option for your situation, know that you can make it work. And when the time comes, transitioning your baby to their own room can be a positive step for everyone’s sleep health.
