cosleeps
Sleeps with baby
Cosleeps is the third-person singular form of cosleep, meaning to share a bed or sleeping space with another person, typically a parent sleeping with an infant or young child: She cosleeps with her baby despite the pediatrician's concerns.
The practice is common in many cultures but debated in Western parenting circles over safety and developmental effects.
