message: Hi, just thought I'd mention that I've added 5 new categories so folks who are looking through topics besides :Category:Sleep will have a chance of coming across the article. Cgingold 11:42, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The Tufts University Child and Family WebGuide is a good co-sleeping resource. 
http://www.cfw.tufts.edu/topic/2/176.htm
The WebGuide is a directory that evaluates, describes and provides links to hundreds of sites containing child development research and practical advice. The WebGuide, a not-for-profit resource, was based on parent and professional feedback, as well as support from such noted child development experts as David Elkind, Edward Zigler, and the late Fred Rogers. Topics cover all ages, from early child development through adolescence. The WebGuide selects sites that have the highest quality child development research and that are parent friendly.
The co-sleeping page of this site provides information on co-sleeping and sleep problems that can arise from such parenting techniques. Some of the sites also contain information on co-sleeping as it relates to breastfeeding, as well as SIDS. Articles offered provide easy to understand applied sleep research and information on sleep disorders.

message: re. "It is standard practice in many parts of the world outside of North America, Europe and Australia, although sometimes children may crawl into bed with their parents."
I think it is also standard practise in parts of Europe. At least it is very common in Scandinavia. Rune X2 08:38, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Standard practice 

message: Why is this page so poorly written? The text needs to be cleaned up quite a bit.  Also, the articles need to be better researched.  Cosleeping is connected with an increase in SIDS, while sharing a room, but not a bed, has been shown to lower SIDS risks.  If we are going to say that a majority of the world's populations cosleep, we need much more research than is given here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.16.47.86 (talk) 01:02, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poorly Written 

message: Why use different terms when talking about the proponents and opponents?
"Proponents hold that bed-sharing..."
"Opponents claim that co-sleeping..."
It would be easier to understand if both used the same term.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.237.19.21 (talk) 03:44, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusing terms 

message: I have added a quick line to the overview regarding the possible prosecution of negligent co-sleeping.  I have listed a few states for the sake of documenting this growing trend.  I do not believe that adding multiple more states is necessary, but editing which states are listed might be valuable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.194.77.7 (talk) 17:25, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Would it be appropriate to consider this subject in the context of spousal co-sleeping (or not co-sleeping, as the case may be)? Or would that perhaps be better as a separate article?  67.161.69.249 (talk) 18:47, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article presents one of its sources Simard, V., et al. (2008). The Predictive Role of Maladaptive Parental Behaviors, Early Sleep Problems, and Child/Mother Psychological Factors. Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine as:
"the study concluded that the parental behaviors were a reaction to already-present sleep difficulties. Most relationships between parental behavior and sleeping trouble were not statistically significant when controlled for those preexisting conditions. Further, typical co-sleeping parental behavior, like maternal presence at onset of sleep, were found to be protective factors against sleep problems"
On the contrary that source reads:
"Our findings clarify the long-debated relationship between parental behaviors and childhood sleep disturbances. They suggest that cosleeping and other uncommon parental behaviors have negative consequences for future sleep and are thus maladaptive".
I think the misunderstanding comes from:
* the summary at the beginning of the source, which does mention that "most relationships did not remain significant in adjusted models that controlled for early sleep problems". The key is that is only "most relationships" not all studied relationships.
* "maternal presence at onset of sleep" including mothers who "lull the child to sleep before putting him or her down", not specifically co-sleeping.
If noone objects, I propose to reconcile this section of the article with its source.

message: I've read about it only once, in some non-technical magazine, but the risk seems pretty obvious, especially for older children. Any data? 89.64.25.140 (talk) 11:34, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
