 It is startlingly unenthusiastic about co-sleeping, and makes the statement:

 <<"Recently, scientific studies have demonstrated that bed sharing,
 between mother and infant, can alter and synchronize sleep patterns of
 mother and infant. These studies have led to speculation in the lay
 press that bed sharing, sometimes referred to as co-sleeping, may also
 reduce the risk of SIDS. While bed sharing may have certain benefits
 (such as encouraging breastfeeding), there are no scientific studies
 demonstrating that bed sharing reduces SIDS. Conversely, there are
 studies suggesting that bed sharing, under certain conditions, may
 actually increase the risk of SIDS."

I went to the site, and will admit I can't see this statement anywhere.  I
read it through several times, and can't find the paragraph you cited.  Is it
somewhere other than the URL you gave?
