And this is the cullprit with bringing out this kind of information. It might
make lots and lots of mothers who want to co-sleep not to do so, nbecause
they see themselves as obese, but do really not impose any danger to their
child. I doubt that a mom with an overweight of 10-20 or even 30 kg will be a
hazard to her bedsharing child.

Warmly greeting,

Gonneke, obese, but never smothered her babies ;-)
