Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: in the absence of alcohol or tobacco consumption, and sleeping on a sofa, no significant increase of sudden infant death associated to bed-sharing was found.

Reviewers’ commentary: with the available evidence and the methodological limitations of this study there isn’t enough reasoning to change the previous recommendations.This study proves once more the importance of avoiding added risk factors to infant bed-sharing, nevertheless more recent and powerful enough studies are needed to prove the risks and benefits of sharing the bed in breastfed infants, excluding risk factors.
