Today in the Ottawa Citizen was an article (Reuter) regarding a British
Medical Journal report (the issue was not quoted) which stated "More than
60% of all crib deaths or SIDS could be prevented if people stopped smoking
around their babies and pregnant women." It went on to say:" babies put to
sleep on their backs were at least risk of dying from SIDS."

However the statement that was troubling was:" Babies whose parents
regularly took them to bed with them were at higher risk, they found, as
were those of parents who drank heavily or used illegal drugs".

This goes against everything we have been hearing from James McKenna and
Katherine Dettwyler.

Did anyone else see this? Has anyone seen the actual research? Could you
please comment if you have?

Oh, by the way, nothing was mentioned about the protective effects of
breastfeeding.
