Traditionally, the children of Western parents slept separately in a crib. Co-sleeping is practiced in Asia, Africa, and Latin America and is becoming more popular among Western parents. Breastfeeding is more common with cosleeping, but so is sudden infant death, especially with bed-sharing.
Find an article (online is fine) discussing co-sleeping from a Western (U.S. and Western Europe) perspective and an article discussing co-sleeping from another cultural perspective (e.g., Asian, African, Latin American, Middle Eastern) and use a multicultural perspective to discuss the similarities and differences between the two perspective.
