After admitting that she sleeps in the same bed as her child, Charlotte Church has been warned by the Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths that she could be putting her newborn Ruby Megan’s life in danger.
Entertainmentwise reported yesterday that Church went into labour in the car park of hardware store B&Q and then rushed home to give birth while watching rugby on the television with her boyfriend Gavin Henson.
The Welsh singer revealed that “Gavin was worried about me rolling over and smothering her but I think it’s instinctive I wouldn’t,” reports the Sun. “The baby’s in front of me and Gavin cuddles up behind me because that’s the only way I can sleep.”
FSID director Joyce Epstein talks about her concern though: “When we heard Charlotte was sharing a bed with her baby, we wanted to make sure she was making an informed decision about the risks.
“We have supplied her with the relevant information. All our advice is based on proven research and it’s important that parent’s are aware of all the risks.”
