Report: Infants Should Sleep In Same Room As Parents

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A new policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics says infants should sleep in the same bedroom as their parents.
The statement goes on to specify that babies should still be placed on a separate surface, such as a crib or bassinet, and never on a couch, armchair or soft surface — to decrease the risks of sleep-related deaths.
