Doctors told why kids need to sleep away from my parents

Scientists debunked the old stereotype.

Toddlers who sleep in a separate room from their parents, before leave to sleep, faster go to sleep and sleep more. To such conclusion experts from Children’s hospital of Philadelphia.

To improve the quality of sleep a child should sleep in a separate room from their parents. We are talking about the kids, mums are usually laid next to him to quickly calm night. It turned out that babies who sleep in a separate room from their parents, leave to sleep early. They require less time to fall asleep, and total sleep duration increases. Moreover, the parents of these kids also reported higher quality of sleep. Thus, sleep in a separate room increases the level of a night’s rest not only kids but also their dads and moms.

The results of this study completely contradict the current recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics, which States that child for the first 6 months of life, it is better to sleep in the same room with their parents to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. Your conclusions the American scientists have made based on interviews with parents 6 236 children aged from 6 to 12 months. These results were also supplemented by survey 3 798 parents from Australia, Brazil, Canada, the UK and New Zealand. It turned out that the kids who sleep separately from their parents, not only increases the quality of sleep, but they are also less likely to require night feeding.

The researchers themselves say that there are several possible reasons for this fact. Most likely, the children will quickly calm down if sleeping in a separate room. Meanwhile, experts of the American Academy of Pediatrics emphasize that if we are talking only about the quality of baby’s sleep, split sleep may be justified. But co-sleeping in the first 6 months is primarily intended for the prevention of sudden infant death syndrome, the exact cause of which is still not established science.
