In real life, many parents have to follow their grandparents for work reasons, so some children are also willing to sleep with the elderly. However, it is not good to let their children sleep with their grandmother all the time. So, are there many harms to children sleeping with their grandmother?
Firstly, it is not a wise decision for parents to let their children sleep with their grandparents. It should be noted that sleeping with grandparents can have many harmful effects, which may affect the child's mental development. After all, the grandmother is older and her physical functions are no longer comparable to before, and her respiratory function is also declining. Therefore, sleeping at night requires absorbing more oxygen and exhaling more carbon dioxide. If the baby sleeps next to her, it will definitely affect the baby.
Secondly, sleeping with a grandmother can also affect a child's sleep. Generally speaking, children tend to spoil their children and may worry that their blankets will kick open when they sleep at night. Once the child has any movements, they will immediately check. However, adults doing so can also interfere with the baby's sleep and affect the quality of their sleep.
Finally, the elderly have a weaker immune system, making them more susceptible to illness. If they sleep with their children, they may fall ill due to poor rest, which can easily transmit the disease to them. Additionally, the energy of the elderly is very limited, and taking care of their children can be tiring. If their mind cannot keep up with their children, accidents are more likely to occur.
