Esse estudo tem o objetivo de verificar a prevalência de coleito de mães e lactentes e fatores associados em população urbana no Sul do Brasil. Trata-se de estudo transversal aninhado em uma coorte de 233 duplas de mãe-filho selecionadas na maternidade do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. Quando a criança completava 3 e 6 meses de vida, coletavam-se, em visitas domiciliares, dados sobre prática do coleito e variáveis associadas. O desfecho principal foi o compartilhamento do espaço de dormir entre a criança e sua mãe. Variáveis com p The aim of this study was to verify the prevalence of bed-sharing and factors associated with this sleeping environment in an urban population in Southern Brazil. This was a cross-sectional nested cohort study with 233 mother-infant pairs selected at the maternity ward of the University Hospital in Porto Alegre. When the infant was 3 and 6 months old, home visits were performed to collect data on bed-sharing and associated variables. The main outcome was the place shared by the mother and infant for sleeping. Variables with p < 0.2 were included in a Poisson regression model. At 3 and 6 months, 31.2% and 28.5% of infants slept with their mothers at night. At 3 months, prevalence was higher for single mothers (PR: 1.56; CI: 1.01-2.39) and mothers sharing the home with the infant's maternal grandmother (PR: 1.70; CI: 1.09-2.65). Prevalence of bed-sharing at 3 months was high and associated with single mothers and sharing the home with the infant's maternal grandmother.
