You are expecting your first baby and are thinking about sleeping arrangements. You have heard of the concept of "the family bed" and are considering having the baby sleep with you and your spouse. Elaborate on the scenario by writing a letter to a relative or close friend or a diary/journal entry from the perspective of a parent writing about his or her child. Your letter/diary should explain what happened in detail, identify the issues you will need to consider and research in coming up with a solution, and a plan of action for how you will deal with the situation. 4-6 pages

Hello Annie ,

There is good news ,I am expecting a baby. It's going to change my whole life . I am so excited about it and I want to provide the best to my baby. I am having a confusion about the sleeping arrangements to be after the delivery .Should I keep my baby along with me in the same bed or should use a different baby cort . Since , you have the experience as a mother and as a pediatrician too which will be the best . Guide me. My baby should be under full comfort that's all I need . I had undergone a research for this and ia have found that bed-sharing helps a baby fall asleep, is easier on nursing mothers, and promotes the bond between parent and child.

But bed-sharing can be dangerous too. Adult beds can be unsafe for babies. Parents can roll over onto the baby, the baby can be suffocated in the bedding, or the baby could get trapped between the mattress and a wall or headboard. An infant could even fall off the bed entirely.

Instead, enjoy the benefits of sleeping close to your baby by room-sharing, which means having your infant's sleep space near your bed, but not in your bed. You can keep your baby near you by having him or her sleep in a bassinet, crib, or play yard. Bedside sleepers are available that attach to the side of the bed so that babies are within reach of their parents but still in their own safe space. And even if decide to share my bed then I should follow these :-

never bed-share during your infant's first 4 months of life, when the risk of SIDS is greatest

always put your baby to sleep on his or her back

never bed-share on a soft surface, such as a waterbed, couch, or armchair

make sure the bed's headboard and footboard do not have openings or cutouts that could trap your baby's head

check that the mattress fits snugly in the bed frame so that your baby will not become trapped

use only minimal amounts of bedding and avoid pillows, blankets, bumper pads, and toys

make sure your baby's head will not be covered by any bedding

never bed-share with other children in the bed

Well , I have decided to bed share by following all these precautions but still an expert opinion is needed . Help me to sort this

Thanking you

Jenny
