We seem to have a few cases yearly of infant deaths while sleeping with
parents.  I cannot advocate sleeping with a newborn in bed.  I just did a
well-baby exam a few weeks ago on an apparently healthy one month old.
Parents fell asleep with him in bed - woke up with him pressed between
them - not breathing.  Anything that might reduce this occurrence should be
advocated and stressed to parents.  Who would give a guarantee to any parent
that this won't occur with co-bedding?  And
imagine how the parents must feel?  We should advocate/educate any measures
to reduce SIDS and/or suffocation.
