_Mothering_ recently (2 issues back??) had a big spread on co-sleeping with several articles directly countering this media "co-sleeping is dangerous" junk -- actual research (McKenna among others), careful analyses of the actual data, etc. Very believable and clear. Interesting reservations about co-sleeping when the parents are smokers or the mother smoked during pregnancy, based on New Zealand study. I really recommend going to their website and ordering this back issue if you're interested -- I've been using it for breastfeeding classes where I talk about this. Some nice pictures too.
