Interesting that according to the article *more* cases of SIDS  involve
babies in cribs, yet babies in parents' beds is considered more  risky than
sleeping in a crib.



That is exactly what I tell moms who are concerned with  sleeping with their 
infants.  When they bring up the"study" that says that  Xamount  of deaths 
were cosleeping...I ask them where the other X amount  were sleeping.  I also 
remind them, that what isn't mentioned (and never  seems to be) is what the 
physical situation is... IE:was the mother impaired,  sleeping in an unsafe bedding 
situation, etc.  With proper education co  sleeping is a wonderful, SAFE, and 
natural practice...I have done it through 4  children from day one and my 
daughter is still sleeping with us at 13 mos.   (as a sided note, my 7 yr old, 
who had sleep apnea and was on a monitor, only  had "real alarms" while sleeping 
alone.  When sleeping with me, the alarm  NEVER went off...coincidence?   I 
think NOT!)
