We've just had a terrible, terrible article printed in our local paper.
Last year a friend's beautiful baby died. The coroners report come out
saying that the 'boy died of a bed-sharing sleeping incident." The NSW
Health Department has come out saying "We advise people to play with their
baby in bed but that babies should sleep in their cots". A doctor at one of
the children's hospitals is quoted as saying "The data is now well and
truly in and the warning is clear. All parents should guard against
sleeping with their babies but particularly babies who smoke" How bad

I'm going to write a letter to the paper. I know that with that study
released on sleeping with babies in the States that a lot of you have been
doing some letter writing. I know it's lazy but I have a million other
things I should be doing. Is there anyone who would be willing to share new
(late 1990s) references on cosleeping and SIDS and or any letters you have
written that I can use as a resource.

I am so angry I just can't believe it.
