We do Not Recommend Co-Sleeping or Bed-Sharing:
Under the BabeSafe® mattress-wrapping protocol, co-sleeping/bedsharing between adults and babies must not occur under any circumstances - your baby must sleep in their own separate bassinet/crib on a BabeSafe-wrapped mattress and using the specified bedding for a wrapped mattress (see the bedding instructions).
Please note that until such time as the baby's mattress can be wrapped in a BabeSafe cover, having the baby sleep in your adult-sized bed is not an option. Bed-Sharing between adults and babies poses serious crib death risk (and probably accounts for around one-half of all US SIDS/crib deaths).
Since it is not feasible to wrap an adult-sized mattress for crib death prevention, your baby must never be placed in your bed, even if you are awake at the time.
If you wish to breastfeed the baby in your bedroom, do this sitting upright in a chair, and when feeding is over return the baby to their own separate crib to continue sleeping on the BabeSafe-wrapped mattress.
The BabeSafe® protocol is issued for the wrapping of infant-sized mattresses and specifically for the purpose of crib death prevention - it is not issued for wrapping mattresses larger than infant-sized or for wider medical or environmental purposes. Therefore BabeSafe® covers are not manufactured in sizes for children's beds or adults' beds.

Don't bedshare with your baby in your adult-sized bed. Don't allow the baby to bedshare with an older child in the child's bed.
