I totally agree with you, Lisa.  If being in close proximity to mom and
sucking on a pacifier help reduce the risk of SIDS, we finally can see
clearly why breastfed, co-sleeping babies of parents who DO NOT SMOKE have
less incidence of SIDS!  It only makes sense that co-sleeping, breastfed
babies are better off than any others.  Babies who are breastfed should be
near their mothers so they can find their *REAL LIVE HUMAN PACIFIERS*
during the night. It only stands to reason that this is the way nature
intended babies to sleep... in close proximity to their very own real live
pacifiers.

Grrrrr... idiots... can't see the nose on their own face. Duh.

Cee
