Did Dr. Lawrence correct Katie on the AAP guildelines?  That really burns 
that they are getting it so wrong!

> This morning (02/07/05) Katie Couric on the NBC
> morning show mentioned that new AAP guidelines had
> come out recommending breastfeeding for the first 6
> months and that mothers should keep babies near them
> to sleep, presumably to make breastfeeding more
> convenient, and why some experts might disagree.  The
> guest they had was Ruth Lawrence!  She went over some
> of the guidelines for safe bedsharing, after
> discussing some of the reasons that breastfeeding was
> so good for mother and child.
> I assumed, when hearing K.C.'s comment, that some
> guest would come on and discuss negative effects of
> keeping a child in the same room, and discuss the need
> for indepent sleep, etc.  So I was thrilled to see Dr.
> Lawrence on the show.
