Some support a universal ban on babies sleeping in the same bed as parents.
Others support a ‘remove hazards and make it safe’ approach.
All agree

- ‘in own bed’ (a bed designed for babies) for high risk situations:
- Smoking in pregnancy
- Premature or low birth weight
- Alcohol, drugs or partying
Disagreement is a sign that more research is needed.
