I find this to be a very sad state of affairs when parents cannot make an
informed choice on how to raise their children without fear of having them
taken away.  Wow.  I guess we are lucky on the west coast - it isn't nearly
that bad.  Lots of people co-bed, lots of people nurse past 6 months (and
some past 2 yrs!).  There is more acceptance for each others individual
rights as parents.  But to fear being reported for raising your children in
a manner that has all sorts of back-up??  Wow.

I feel for you over there...I really do.

Warmly

It is indeed a nightmare here in N.Y. Wherever I go I see the
ani-sleepsharing, only on the back, posters. And I do not dare to admit to
sleep sharing even to my pediatrician, who told me he does not want to
report me. Since I have already been reported before to the Department of
Health for not treating my Son's gastric low tone more aggressively (no the
person reporting had no idea what kind of treatment to use, but she was sure
that just letting him mature was neglectful) I keep quiet.
