Why do we never see any figures on infants hurt by falling off mom's
lap when she dozes off in a chair?  I know of at least one case
where the baby hit a hard floor and sustained a skull fracture
(fortunately, no apparant long term damage).  Surely this is not an
isolated incident.  If we are going to turly inform parents of
risks/benefits, this risk should be included.  Of course, it's not
as dramatic as saying parents kill their babies by sleeping with
them, so the press wouldn't be as interested!
