Hi Ruth,
I asked Jim McKenna to respond to your email. Jim's new book, "Sleeping
With Your Baby: A Parent's Guide to Cosleeping" is just out so hopefully
we'll be hearing a lot more discussion about this topic in the next few
months!

Dear Ruth:
There is no evidence anywhere on the earth that a baby sleeping prone on its
mothers chest is at increased risk of dying from SIDS, or from suffocation.
Sleeping prone on a living body is not the same as sleeping prone on an
inert, unmoving and responding, mattress..One idea of why prone sleep kills
infants is re-breathing lethal doses of CO2..But on a mothers chest is not
the place where CO2 could pool as it is highly sensitive to vibrations (it
breaks up the pooling) and breadth itself (of the mother). I am not certain,
nor is everyone convinced that re-breathing CO2 is the reason babies die as
sleeping too deeply and not arousing while sleeping prone is just as likely
a cause..But nonetheless..the only potential danger I could see..which is
not in evidence at the moment is that a baby could slip off its mothers
chest and in some way get wedged. but I know of no case in which this
occurred.

Subject: Looking for SIDS articles
I am looking for research that shows sleeping babies held skin to skin = or
being held by parents is not in conflict with the Back to Sleep = campaign
or the AAP safe sleep guidelines.This is not a co-sleeping = issue. I am
dealing with concerns that babies should be on their backs = whenever they
sleep.
Please email me privately
