During a home care visit, a couple expresses a desire for cosleeping, or sleeping in the same bed with their newborn baby. Which nursing response is most appropriate?
 
  1. Current research suggests there are no physical risks related to cosleeping, and this recommended as a healthy psychologic approach to family bonding.
  2. Cosleeping is a safe and healthy practice, as long as you make sure your baby is sleeping on the stomach.
  3. Cosleeping is considered a risk factor for SIDS, so families who practice cosleeping need to following specific safety guidelines.
  4. Cosleeping is not recommended; however, if you wish to do this, place your baby on a comforter, as opposed to directly on the mattress.
