From the Baltimore Sun:

>Babies' deaths spur city warning
>Sharing bed with parents linked to 50 fatalities; 'Extremely high' correlation
>-------------------

>As many as 50 infants in Baltimore may have suffocated since 1998 while
>sleeping with a parent or older sibling, city officials said yesterday.

>Noting that bed-sharing was a factor in about half of the 99 sudden infant
>deaths during the past 4 1/2 years, Dr. Peter L. Beilenson, the city's health
>commissioner, issued a warning to let babies sleep alone.
