View submission: Kick out the baby
Isn’t that the theory behind the reduction in SIDS with room sharing? That they don’t sleep as deeply with others in the room?

A combination of baby sleeping lighter due to parent noise and parent sleeping lighter and therefore more able to quickly help baby in an emergency, yeah

Yes. Lighter sleep reduces the risk of SIDS

The reason room sharing reduces the risk of SIDS is that parents are more easily aroused by the crying baby, can get to it quickly and also tend to check on the baby more often. In our case, my husband’s snores actually act as white noise and I feel baby sleeps more deeply with us than by himself.
