Many young parents have a habit of putting their children in between them when they sleep at night. However, this sleeping arrangement is actually very harmful to the child's health.
The oxygen consumption of brain tissue in the human body is the highest. The oxygen consumption of adult brain tissue accounts for about 20% of the total oxygen consumption of the body, and the smaller the child, the higher the proportion of brain oxygen consumption to total oxygen consumption, which can be as high as 50% in infants.
If a baby sleeps between parents, the "waste gas" expelled by adults will affect the child, creating an environment with low oxygen and high carbon dioxide concentration. This can lead to sleep disturbances, midnight crying, and other issues, ultimately affecting the child's normal growth and development.
At the same time, having a baby sleep between parents also increases the risk of unintentional compression and poses a safety hazard to the child. Therefore, it is better for the child not to sleep between parents.
