NON US: Is bedsharing acceptable where you’re from?

wouldn’t care if it’s not advised. i love doing it and i’d never go back. that’s also because i’m a pretty light sleeper and i’m confident nothing would happen

I do think you need to know the precautions though for sure, to know how to sleep with baby. It's always best to keep their face up closer to your face when sleeping. Make sure the blanket can't get pulled up over their head or that no one can roll over on baby. Things like that. Don't sleep with them if you are extremely tired either. I did get much better sleep this though and so did baby when I did bedshare.

I received a LOT of information from the NHS on safe cosleeping methods. I think they do a great job. (UK)

Same as @Olivia I’m in Wales and was told how to safely cosleep by health visitors

Vietnam, absolutely. Because people over there can’t afford a separate mattress for baby nor do they have the space. So cosleeping and bedsharing and baby wearing, extended breastfeeding and early toilet training (fully trained by 18m-2yrs) and 40 day confinement period PP, is norm. And their SIDS rate is super low. So is Singapore Japan and Korea, where cosleeping is norm.

In the UK it’s always been discouraged but more recently there’s more advice on how to do it safely. I think the official bodies have recognised that people are gonna do it and it’s better to provide advice on doing it safely than to just have a blanket “it’s unsafe” stance. I didn’t bed share with my first, but have ended up leaning into it with my second as she was a terrible sleeper and it’s meant we’ve all been able to get some sleep. When I’ve talked about it with others it’s a lot more common than I realised. I am aware that it’s the norm in a number of countries around the world, as well.
