Abstract

Authors' conclusion: bed sharing could increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome and this risk is higher when the infant’s mother smokes and when the infant is less than 12 weeks of age.

Reviewers' commentary: although this review provides evidence of an association between bedsharing and sudden infant death syndrome, mainly in smoking mothers, the recommendation about bedsharing should be individualized according to patients values.
