~~~ Can't say I'm surprised but glad they are getting the message out about 
 the importance of baby breastfeeding and CoSleeping nearby. They seem to 
think  it's just too risky to actually give families information about safe 
sleep with  baby, and trust they will follow through. In fact, for all we 
know the dogged  instistence, even shame-focused ads that baby not be in bed 
could  be directly related to increasing rates of sudden death in infants, as 
moms  drag themselves out of bed and go to the couch ( away from that 
dangerous  bed!)  to try to meet their baby's nighttime needs.
    I remain confused about terminology though. If a  baby has a drugged 
mom who rolls over and smothers baby, or a smoking dad whose  fumes mess with 
baby's breathing and it shuts down for too long, or baby somehow  gets his 
ribs trapped between the bed and a wall in an unsafe situation, and  that 
baby dies, how is that "unexplained"? I guess my brain is just  too overloaded 
to grasp this?
