The number may not be that different, I was at a presentation of Mrs
Helen Ball last year and she found a number 47% of children co-sleep
at any time of the childs infancy at least part of the night (UK
research,
http://www.dur.ac.uk/sleep.lab/blair%20and%20ball%202004.pdf ). If
this is true, they might as well be informed about safe co-sleeping
practices! You can find Mrs. Balls research on
http://www.dur.ac.uk/sleep.lab/
She has many interesting articles on the subject, a.o. this abstract:
http://www.dur.ac.uk/sleep.lab/riskis%20to%20infants---.htm
This is Mrs. balls view on safety of either sleeping place (skip or
read the dummy-article): http://www.dur.ac.uk/sleep.lab/wailoo2.pdf
Basically she says 'we don't know what is the safest place to put
your baby to sleep'.
What I find in most research on the subject of co-sleeping versus
cotsleeping that I have read untill now is that safe cosleeping is
compared to very unsafe co-sleeping. Any sleeping arrangement that is
not in the cot is named co-sleeping. These arrangements probably
should rather be compared to unsafe cotbedding in the pre- prevention
campaigns era.
