br/> Dr. Sears' Tips for Safe Co-Sleeping:
* Take precautions to prevent baby from rolling out of bed, even though it is unlikely to happen when baby is sleeping next to mother. Like heat-seeking missiles, babies automatically gravitate toward a warm body. Yet, to be safe, place baby between mother and a guardrail or push the mattress flush against the wall and position baby between mother and the wall. Guardrails enclosed with plastic mesh are safer than those with slats, which can entrap baby's limbs or head. Be sure the guardrail is flush against the mattress so there is no crevice that baby could sink into.
* Place baby adjacent to mother, rather than between mother and father
