The sofa is a place for people to rest, but it is definitely not a good place to sleep. Not long ago, researchers at the Royal Children's Hospital in the United Kingdom investigated the infant death record from 1984 to 2003 and found that during the 20 years, the sudden death of infants in bed was reduced by 50%, but the sudden death on the sofa was Increased by 400%.

Why do babies sleeping on the couch have such a fatal effect? It should be said that the exact answer has not yet been obtained internationally.
But simple speculation, probably related to the material, softness and sofa structure of the sofa.

Most beds are moderately soft and hard, and the child is lying on it and the body does not sink. Some sofas, although seemingly flat on the surface, actually use a softer material. After being stretched, people lay on them and the body is easy to get stuck. Especially when the child turns over, the face is attached to the soft sofa surface, and the nostrils are easily blocked. If no one cares carefully, and the child is younger and less conscious, it is likely to cause poor breathing and even suffocation.

In addition, the structure of the sofa is also detrimental to the child's sleep and growth. The bed is more spacious and flat than the sofa, and can be adjusted to sleep at will, comfortable to sleep; the sofa has a backrest and armrests, and the body is very restrained when sleeping. Coupled with the child's musculoskeletal is in the developmental stage, the uneven structure will not only affect the child's sleep, but also is not conducive to growth.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, let the child sleep on the sofa - even for a small meeting, should be avoided.
