    La pr谩ctica de los padres de dormir junto a sus hijos ha sido una constante en la humanidad. Con el aumento en la prevalencia y duraci贸n de la lactancia materna, se ha observado paralelamente un aumento de esa pr谩ctica, que posiblemente se d茅 con m谩s frecuencia que la reconocida en las encuestas. Los estudios han demostrado interrelaci贸n y mutua potenciaci贸n entre lactancia materna y colecho. Las asociaciones y organizaciones pedi谩tricas recomiendan evitar el colecho, por relacionarlo con la muerte s煤bita del lactante. Se basan, sin embargo, en estudios en su mayor铆a no controlados, bajo la influencia de factores de riesgo no tenidos en cuenta. Los autores, tras una revisi贸n exhaustiva sobre colecho, lactancia y muerte s煤bita del lactante, encuentran el colecho como una pr谩ctica beneficiosa para la lactancia y concluyen que, bien practicado, evitando factores de riesgo, no guarda relaci贸n con la muerte s煤bita del lactante. The practice of bed-sharing by parents and their offspring has been a common behaviour among humans. In parallel with the increase of breastfeeding rates, a higher frequency of bed-sharing has been observed worldwide. And, it is probable that it occurs more frequently than what appears reflected in surveys. There seems to be an interrelated and mutually enhanced effect between breastfeeding and bed-sharing. Pediatric associations and health organizations have warned against the practice of bed-sharing based on studies that describe a link between this practice and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). However, many were non-controlled studies that did not include other potentially risky circumstances. After a thoroughly review of the available literature, the authors have found the practice of bed-sharing to be of benefit on the basis of a warm and close-up infant care approach and calls for recognition and avoidance of risky situations that could represent a threat for infant life
