I was sick beyond belief.  Does ANYONE have any statistics on how many babies
per year die from sleeping in a crib/bassinet?  And what percentage babies is
that from the whole that are co-sleeping?  And were the adults on drugs?
Drinking?  Attempting infanticide?  Did some of these babies die of SIDS, and
the expectation was that the parent smothered them?  I find it so hard to
believe that an adult, who presumably hasn't fallen out of bed in years
because they know where the edge of the bed is, rolls over and smothers a
baby and can't even feel the baby UNDER him/her.  Something that lumpy and I
think I'd notice.

I hate this.

Jan -- who doesn't even roll over on top of pillows without noticing there is
something odd there.
