Dear Lactfolks:
Here is a collection of some links concerning infant suffocation and
bedsharing, most of which have already appeared on Lactnet:

Any other organizations making statements in response?
I will be going nomail for a few weeks, so anyone asking me for a copy of the
letter Dr. McKenna and Dr. Gartner wrote to Pediatrics concerning Drago and
Dannenberg (same database and conclusions as CPSC) needs to contact me today
or wait until I'm back at my computer.
