Do Japanese sleep with their babies?
This article explores Japanese attitudes towards co-sleeping, the benefits and risks associated with it, as well as a look at the research on Japanese co-sleeping habits. Co-sleeping is seen as an important part of parenting and bonding with your baby in Japan, with studies showing that it can help strengthen the bond between parent and baby by providing more opportunities for physical contact throughout the night. Additionally, co-sleeping can make breastfeeding easier and lead to improved sleep quality and duration for babies. While there are potential risks associated with co-sleeping such as an increased risk of SIDS, overall results suggest that majority mothers surveyed felt positively about the experience and believed it helped create stronger emotional bonds between themselves and their infant children.
