        Kathy Dettwyler posted that lowest incidence of SIDS is in breastfeeding /
co-sleeping babies.  Do you have a reference for this??  Personally, I find
the co-sleeping issue very difficult.  I've read some disturbing coroner's
reports of infant deaths  by "overlying" ( often initially misdiagnosed as
SIDS).  If parents embrace the philosophy of co- sleeping it can be
wonderful, but I'd have difficulty endorsing it as a way to decrease the
risk of SIDS unless I saw some GOOD data.
