Katherine,

The Navy did not produce the SIDS pamplet.   I will track down the source
when I return to work.  It does not advocate co-sleeping.  The article states
that the crib mattress is typically firmer than the parent's bed and
recommend parents not co-sleep with babies.
I know our Peds Dept supports BFing but the SIDS material that has been
circulated speaks strongly against co-sleeping.

The phamplet that is produced for the Navy speaks  of the pregnant
service-member's responsibilities to the Navy and the responsibilities of the
Navy to the pregnant service-member .  In this tri-fold phamplet, the
original info was created in 1986.  At that time, it did not mention BFing ,
then in ' 88 it just stated that a woman could BF and now  we have a 1990
update which states BFing can be done on lunch and during breaks.  This
material can easily be shared with others.  Basically, it is trivia for most
people.  Lets not forget . . . women have only been permitted to be pregnant
while serving on active duty since 1975 (just when the Vietnam war ended).
 Change is very slow but at least it is changing for the better.

Latch on to Life ...karen
