Sleep with children: good or bad?

As a schoolboy, the practice of sleeping with children is understood and it is currently a controversial issue that divides lit opinions from side to side. On the one hand, some specialists maintain the benefit that this fact reports: it facilitates breastfeeding and affirms emotional ties. Different investigations have shown that sleeping with an infant regulates the sleeping patterns of the mother and her baby, plays an important role in helping the mother to be more sensitive to her baby's requirements, and gives both of them more opportunity to a good rest, and influences the maintenance of milk production. It has also been shown that those children who shared beds with their parents were more optimistic and had fewer numbers of tantrums.

The defenders of the colecho deny the possibility that a son dies crushed by his parents. Of course, they advise against sleeping with children if they suffer from obesity, have taken drugs, alcohol or are very tired; and incite to take measures to practice a safe school. For the detractors; The colecho does not help in the process of constructing the identity of the child, it could cause fixations or difficulties to resolve the habitual conflicts of children conspiring against the development of the necessary autonomy and corresponding to their age. The specialists of this side affirm that it should not occur more than for a few hours in the first 40 days after delivery.

Recently a statement from the American Pediatric Association advised against sleeping with children. Although this practice is not linked to the increased risk of sudden death, you should not fall asleep with a baby because of the risk of crushing, suffocation or a rise in body temperature.

Tonight my three-year-old son "may come to our bed". We never had a misfortune when I was a baby and I had more trouble getting it to his bed when it was time to do it. He is now a fairly independent and "normal" child. Sleeping with children is a free choice of each mother or father, I do not approve or disapprove consider it an option; yes, I do not see more inconvenience than back pain when the bed is small and the child is spinning more than a carousel, but compensates for the smell of dulce de leche that surrounds a baby. What is your opinion? Do your children sleep or have you slept with you? What do you think are the disadvantages of colecho? It will be good? Bad? Does it affect life as a couple?

We would like to know your opinion.
