Hi Heather,
You said
"Also, the mothers who bed-shared might not actually
like doing it....and be therefore irritated with their babies. Comments?"

My first thought was that maybe these are "high need" infants. These
mothers were less likely to breastfeed, it said. They had fussy irritable
infants that they needed to settle and for all to get some sleep.
Bedsharing helped with that. But the babies were "fussy" babies already. I
always say if you have an "easy" baby who goes to sleep easily into a crib
then you are probably not going to do lots of bedsharing. ???
