Try the updated American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) statement on BFing & the Use of Human Milk. I believe they recommend mom & baby sleep close to each other. They should have citations to references. Phyllis Adamson, IBCLC Phx, AZ. -----Original Message----- I spoke with a mom recently who felt overwhelmed by the thought of having her newborn sleep in her room. Then I spoke with someone associated with a SIDS organization who stated that there is no research showing a decrease in crib death when infants sleep in the same room with their mom. I saw a study showing that infants sleep better in the same room, and now I have seen a study from New Zealand, but it also involved sleep position. I have seen articles referring to mom/baby room sharing being good, so I thought I would look for a study. thank you, Judy *********************************************** *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
