Nearby Beats In-Bed for Safety
The American Academy of Pediatrics found room-sharing -- baby in their own crib or bassinet, in your room -- can lower SIDS risk by up to 50 percent, far more than sharing a bed. It's not about distance from your baby. It's about giving them their own safe space, close enough to reach.

So where does your baby actually sleep right now, and does it match what you'd choose if starting fresh?
