No common sense! I'm not even discussing the breastfeeding/pacifier 
nightmare. On NBC News Tonite, while they were discussing the baby bed, they 
showed a picture of a 4 month old in a short sleeved T-shirt with NO blanket 
whatsoever and the crib completely empty except for the baby. I can picture 
a  small newborn, no swaddling, lightly clothed this winter, placed in an 
empty crib with nothing to comfort the baby and the parents trying to figure 
out why the baby won't sleep.

BTW I do hope the the AAP members who are members of the Academy of 
Breastfeeding Medicine rebel, and take their collective outrage to the AAP 
board of directors and demand an explanation. Better yet, perhaps having 
them all drop their AAP membership would speak volumes, but I'm sure they 
still wouldn't "get it".

Wondering how the teaching we give to parents is going to change as a 
result. I'd like to personally review the research about pacifiers, before I 
have the AAP dictating to us what should be taught to parents!
