Bed-Sharing Info (Co-Sleeping)

Question

A researcher would like to know the percentage of mothers in Canada who bed-share with their infants (co-sleep).

Answer

The following (non-StatCan) literature review on the Public Health Agency of Canada website may be of interest to the researcher. It includes references to a few studies on this topic:

The Practice of Bed Sharing: A Systematic Literature and Policy Review

The closest match I could find in the DLI collection is the variable BBEC6PP1 : Doesn't want to sleep alone? in the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth, 1996-1997 [Canada]: Cycle 2, Primary File.

I hope that this information is helpful.
