Downloaded from Abstract Background: The impact of infant–parent bed-sharing on the risk of sudden infant death syndrome is currently a matter of controversy and advice relating to whether or not it is safe for babies to bed-share with adults remains unclear. In Ireland almost 50% of SIDS cases occur when the infant is bed-sharing with an adult, highlighting the need for further investigation of this issue. Objective: To evaluate the effect of bed-sharing during the last sleep period on risk factors for SIDS in Irish infants. Design: An eight year (1994 – 2001) population based case control study of 287 SIDS cases and 831 controls matched for date and place of birth and sleep period.
