I am gobsmacked that researchers would "lump" all adults together in such a study.  I am just not really interested in data that fails to single out breastfeeding mothers sleeping with their nursing baby from all other adults.  

Would you let your newborn cosleep with a non-nursing adult?  Many mothers do not allow even the baby's father to sleep with the newborn because of the father's sleep habits, until the baby is older.   

Why are we using data that is inconsistant with the real lives of exclusively breastfed babies to determine how to care for these same babies?   

"Slept with an adult" is a far cry from "Slept with his nursing mother."
