Cosleeping is the normative practice in many of the world's societies but is not endorsed by the Consumer Products Safety Commission or by the American Academy of Pediatrics. A survey was performed on 101 caregivers in an urban setting, designed to assess the prevalence of cosleeping and parental attitudes for this practice. Cosleeping rate was 88% with predictors being as follows: single parent (p=0.006), high school or less education (p=0.035), 2 or fewer rooms used for sleeping (p=0.023). A majority (65%) stated that cosleeping was acceptable.
