I wanted this subject line to be clear.because I've been asked to find
resources/references from places OTHER than breastfeeding research that
address bed-sharing value.

 

I was told that the SIDS committee was going to state clearly that "thou
shalt not bed-share" despite my attempts these last 10 years to provide
data, studies, reports and information (including the fact that we do not
say "thou shalt not have sex" we say "this is safer sex".)

 

HOWEVER, at the last minute - a new Leadership has come in, and pointed out
that telling mothers (65% of whom ADMIT to bedsharing) not to bedshare may
cause unintended consequences .. in ADDITION to reducing breastfeeding, such
as ..

 

And here is where I'm asking you to provide references/resources about the
unintended consequences of telling mothers not to share beds with their
babies.from resources besides breastfeeding such as (I'm brainstorming here
- but need YOUR help!)

Biological anthropology

Cultural anthropology

Etc.

 

You are such a diverse group I'm hoping you can help me.time is of the
essence.!  Thanks!
