Totally.
Leaving a mother in a single bed, alone with her baby, after birth,
with no one watching her is *poor* *care* - nothing to do with
co-sleeping or breastfeeding at all, and everything to do with
systems in a maternity ward that do not allow for safe supervision or
safe co-sleeping in a safe bed.
About once a year we have a case like this that hits the newspapers -
it's often reported as a co-sleeping or breastfeeding fatality. In
every case I can remember, the mother has been drugged or exhausted
(sometimes both) and always left alone.
