Is Co-Sleeping Really That Dangerous? A Personal Dilemma

Living in the U.S., I’ve been told over and over not to sleep in the same bed as my infant—warnings about SIDS and suffocation loom large. Yet when I casually brought it up with some doctor friends, all with Asian heritage, I was surprised to hear they co-slept with their babies without hesitation.One even brushed off my concern by saying, "We've been doing this for 300,000 years. It'll be fine," before quickly moving the conversation along. That left me feeling a little stuck—unsure whether to bring it up again or just keep wondering quietly.Of course, I can read all the studies that show an increased risk, but I can't help but notice that these medical professionals know the research too—and still made their choice.I'm really curious: if you're a parent or work in healthcare, how do you feel about co-sleeping? Would love to hear your perspective in the comments! #ParentingChoices #ModernParenting #NewParentJourney #SafeSleeping #ParentingRealTalk #Parenting
