I'm Jamie Lang, and this is Great Moments. Hello, everyone. This is Great Moments, where I share some of my favorite moments from my conversations on Great Company.
Something that's made me think, made me laugh, or changed my perspective. And hopefully, hopefully there's something in it for you too. So are you ready? Let's get into it. One thing that is a sort of big topic at the moment is, you know, where your child sleeps. Uh-huh. Sleeping in the cot, does it sleep in your bed? Does it sleep in your room? You know, when I was a child, I slept in a cot in a separate room. But there's a lot of conversation around maybe sleeping with a child in your bed. What are the sort of ideas around this? I get very upset on behalf of parents for this particular topic because there's so much research that says where your baby sleeps is irrelevant. It's that they get sleep. Except for in the first year of life, there are lower rates of SIDS, sudden infant death syndrome, when they are sleeping early.
in a separate bed, but that doesn't mean a separate room they can be sleeping. The recommendation, certainly in the United States, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends sleeping in the same room with a, you know, like what's, I guess it's a cot. It's like a three-sided cot that's kind of attached to the bed for the first six months, six to 12 months. Or a separate crib in another room. Or you can bed share. I just work in a hospital, so I wouldn't recommend bed sharing because it's, you know, but like if you don't have lots of bedding, there's no obesity, there's no smoking, there's no substance use, it's culturally appropriate for you. Like, do your thing. You have to make sure that you don't have any of those particular challenges.
Otherwise, it's quite dangerous. But what I think is frustrating is that there are people that are certain. They'll tell you on social media or out in the world that you must bed share in order to have a close attachment. Or you must not sleep in the same room in order for your child to get good sleep and thrive. And that's... gobbledygook. There's so much robust data showing it just needs, like what matters is sleep, both the parents sleep and the kids sleep. So all that other noise, like if, for example, your sibling's baby is sleeping in the other room, And your sister, it's your sister or your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law. And if she's like, okay, I did it this way and this is the best way to do it.
And you're like, I don't, want to do it that way i want i would do i actually want the baby in another room in a crib lovingly in a separate room and i think that'll be better for my relationship and i don't want to do what you're doing don't do it like there's no science to say one is better than the other there are some recommendations about safety which is separate but in terms of attachment relationship it's It has nothing to do with how your baby feeds or sleeps. And I want you to know this because you will hear so many different things. And I actually spoke with two octogenarians who were sort of the leading researchers in attachment that are still alive. So there was John Bowlby, Mary Ainsworth, and then her student is still alive.
And he's done the longest running study on, his name is Professor Alan Strofe. He's done the longest study, decades and decades and decades about attachment. And I said to him, can you please, like before I wrote my book, because I wanted to just triple, quadruple confirm, can you please make sure that this is okay?
