Hi all
 
I was very disturbed to read the UK newspaper report that Janice alerted us
to.  What concerns me is the blanket "no co-sleeping" approach of this
coroner.   It also concerns me that he has failed to acknowledge the deaths
that have occurred when babies are alone in their cots.  I am also surprised
that he has not considered safe co-sleeping practices.  
 
When such seemingly powerful people make such blanket statements it
highlights to  me that some how we need to have powerful  safe-co-sleeping
advocates who can get the message out at least as loudly.  
 
We need balanced, choice and mother-empowerment statements so that mothers
can make safe informed choices for herself.  Surely this should be the right
of every mother for all aspects of her parenting.
 
 
Kind regards
