Abstract in brief

The study analyzed how parent-infant room sharing during the first 6 months affects children's later behavior, sleep, and social skills, following 193 children up to age 8.
Results showed that early room sharing was not linked to sleep or behavior problems, and more weeks of sharing were associated with better sleep quality and increased prosocial behavior according to mothers.
Overall, early parent-infant room sharing seems to be beneficial for positive behavioral development without causing negative effects in middle childhood.]
