Question

– How does co sleeping cause SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome)?

In: Biology

Answer 1

Finland has (from memory) the lowest SIDS statistics in the world. This is generally attributed to how Finnish families traditionally encourage their children to sleep on their backs.

Every new family also gets a cardboard box full of (sponsored) baby things, and the empty box doubles as a crib. The baby sleeps in there without anything that could potentially suffocate it, which would not be the case when co-sleeping in their parents bed.
