Babies who share bed with parents 5 times more likely to die of SIDS | Fox News

Babies who share bed with parents 5 times more likely to die of SIDS | Fox News: Babies sharing beds with their parents face a five-fold risk of dying of cot death, even if their parents are not smokers, new research shows.

The increased risk of death extends to babies previously thought to be at low risk because they are breastfed and the mother has not taken alcohol or drugs, according to a study published in the British Medical Journal Open.
