Preferred term

cosleeping arrangements  

Definition

  • Cosleeping is generally characterized by caregivers and their children sleeping in close proximity, either with the caregiver and child sharing a bed or the child sleeping in the same room as the caregiver but in a separate location, such as a bassinet or crib. Cosleeping can entail children and caregivers sharing sleeping locations for all or part of a night for all or just some nights. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Development; Cosleeping Arrangements]
