subject: 6 month old baby in our room [print this page] 6 month old baby in our room
Today, I'm over the moon.Did you know that is recommended byHealth Canada and theCanadian Paediatric Society to share our room with baby for6 month old baby?!SIX months?And thesleep of parents then?
So, I confess, I sinned.Like many of my relatives, anyway.And maybe even you!
My first daughter remained close to 3 months in our room.My son was 2 weeks.Then, my last slept in his bassinet white lace on wheels, just behind our door open.Yes yes, do not worry, a basket in line with Canadian safety standards.
That does not stop me or get up whenever I heard the sucking motion with their mouth thirsting nor to breastfeed for 13 months (first two) and 15 months (the last time that I continue breastfeed).
So today, I queried.Why six months?On the Health Canada website, it says "Research has shown that the risk of SIDS (Ed.Syndrome SIDS ) are lower when sharing the room.Sharing is recommended until age 6 months."
I can only bow before this recommendation but how many of us know it and respect it?
But make no mistake, sharing the room does not mean "bed sharing".Theco-sleeping is, however, a risk factor for SIDS Whew, it starts to get complicated, is not it?
If I did not keep my darlings in my room, it's just that I'm one of those very sensitive to the sounds of my babies.
You know, the thousand and one noises of infancy, those who are rediscovering each time as if it was the first time, saying: "Tell me, what it feels like little noises, these small things! "
Them to sleep near our room, leaving my door open, I could hide those little noises then, while being able to hear their calls for drink.
Therefore, the sleep of the baby and mother were respected them.I had the satisfaction not to wake baby for nothing in his REM sleep (or sleep "active") and, most importantly, the complacency of good sleep 5 hours straight.
While working on the topic ofsleep , I have indeed understood that a baby might wail, and even open their eyes while sleeping.It was REM sleep and that they should not wake him up, let alone food.He had to wait to see her sucking reflexes and his eyes move in all directions to be sure he was awake
I do not know if the drafters of Health Canada or the CPS think this kind of detail.Do they know that some moms have a hard time letting baby sleep 4 hours straight, feeding even if they do not necessarily need to do well and believing?Do they know that parents are well rested even more willing to care for their baby, the next day?
In short, I think they might be less "normative" on this one for 6 month old baby.And I want to know how old this recommendation, because no doctor or nurse than I had ever spoken
