There are many benefits of co-sleeping but the most significant is that co-sleeping promotes breastfeeding and breastfeeding reduces SIDS. Perhaps it is because that the bed-sharing nursing mother is more aware of her baby's sleep patterns. Possibly it is because the nutrition on breastmilk decreases illnesses including respiratory illness. Or it could even be that skin to skin contact regulates heart rate, breathing patterns and temperature. Whatever the reason, night nursing increases milk supply. And increased milk supply translates to reduced incidence of early weaning and increased rates of breastfeeding success.
A co-sleeper crib attached to mom's side of the bed is an excellent alternative to bed-sharing. The benefits of these are that you have more room and less separation between you and your husband. Also, when the baby is ready to sleep through the night, he is already in his own bed. The Arm's Reach company has a long-standing track record of safe and stylish co-sleeper bassinets.
