Ah, thanks Caro. I looked again and found it.
I know I'm hijacking a little bit here, but I was a bit surprised at reading that SIDS guidelines included baby sleeping in your room when I'd never been told anything of the sort by any of my health professionals. I'm not convinced that room-sharing is a part of SIDS guidelines which are quite simply, 1. place baby on back to sleep 2. Make sure baby's sleep environment is safe, ie firm, well-fitting matress; nothing to obstruct breathing 3. Don't smoke around your baby.
According to the SIDS and kids website, and obviously if you use your common sense, sleeping in the same room as your baby is best if you can do it - it is so much more convenient and you can check on your baby just by looking or reaching over or whatever. However, in defence of those who cannot sleep in the same room as their baby because, well, they can't sleep you have to look after yourself as well.
One of the resources that say, 'roomsharing decreases the risk of SIDS' is the same one that says, 'bedsharing increases the risk of SIDS', and I'm sure many on this forum alone would testify that bedsharing has been the best way for them and their baby to get good rest. It is safe as long as one uses their common sense and takes precautions to protect their baby, and the benefit far outweighs the risk.
Thanks for letting me have my say here - I felt a twang of guilt that my baby sleeps in her own room, however I'm now convinced there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, just as there is nothing wrong with bedsharing when both are done in a safe and loving environment.
Don't feel trapped, or feel bad about whatever decision you make.
