:<< studies prove bed sharing reduces SIDS.
 In fact, under certain conditions, bed sharing may actually increase
 SIDS risk, especially if the baby sleeps on its stomach on a comforter
 or other soft surface.  The AAP also warns that, unlike cribs, adult
 beds are not designed to meet safety standards for infants and may carry
 a risk of accidental entrapment and suffocation. >>

you know i don't usually quote quotes, but this really puzzles me. i thought
the diagnosis of sids was that it was NOT entrapment or suffocation. are they
unclear about their terms? are they trying to say that co-sleeping might
increase the rates of accidental entrapment or suffocation?
