All of which are risk factors when sharing a bed with your baby. Furthermore, there is a real problem with some of the research which doesn’t adequately define SIDS – for example, a baby being trapped on a sofa and dying of asphyxiation, or a baby in bed with a parent and dying as a result of overlaying, is not SIDS. SIDS, by definition, is a death which cannot be adequately explained by medical history, a post-mortem examination, or a death scene investigation. However, it appears that an autopsy cannot always discern between SIDS and asphyxiation18.

Both my oldest & youngest son have stopped breathing in their sleep. My oldest because he was choking due to reflux & my youngest because he had several episodes of newborn apnea. With both of them, I noticed immediately & was able to get them breathing again. The first time it happened with my new baby, I woke up in terror with the thought "He's not breathing" already in my head. It felt like forever, but it was probably less than a minute to get him breathing again. Even in my sleep I knew exactly what was wrong & that I needed to wake up because he was right next to me & a part of my brain was constantly monitoring him. I knew co-sleeping was safe, but I now firmly believe that crib sleeping is inherently unsafe. Babies are designed/evolved to sleep with their mothers so they can be protected even in sleep.
