<guid>https://chummom.cc/room-sharing-with-your-baby-may-lower-sids-risk-but-it-can-also-steal-everyones-sleep</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has long recommended that babies sleep in their parents’ room close enough to hear their tiny sighs, but still in their own safe sleep space, whether that’s a crib, bassinet, or secured co-sleeper. Ideally, the AAP suggests room-sharing for at least 6 months, and up to 12 months, because research shows that proximity can help reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The trial of Larry Nassa the physician who sexually assaulted dozens of young gymnasts over many years, is gut-wrenching. It’s almost impossible to fathom how someone trusted by families could abuse hundreds of girls. Sadly, this kind of betrayal is more common than we’d like to admit: perpetrators often are known to the family; victims may not even recognize what’s happening; shame and fear often silence them. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ For decades, parents have been warned about the dangers of secondhand tobacco smoke and for good reason. The evidence is clear: it can worsen asthma, increase the risk of ear and respiratory infections, and even raise the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Thanks to years of awareness campaigns and public health initiatives, cigarette use among parents has dropped significantly. But just as one fire began to dim, another quietly sparked: secondhand marijuana smoke. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Antibiotics save lives no question about it. They can stop infections in their tracks, protect children from serious illness, and give parents peace of mind. But like many powerful medicines, they come with hidden trade-offs. A growing body of research suggests that when antibiotics are given to babies and toddlers, especially in those crucial first years of life, they may increase the risk of obesity later on. ]]></description>

And if we truly care about children—their well-being, their dreams, their ability to thrive—we can’t ignore it. ]]></description>
