exactly.   for many, that means knowing what the literature shows.  i
changed *how* i coslept with my second b/c of the evidence.

i keep my kids in carseats and boosters for a long long time b/c of the
evidence.

i nurse for a long long long time b/c of the evidence.

without the evidence, I wouldn't have done any of those things.    I
really really don't like nursing.   I'd really like to snuggle with my
baby under a down comforter.   and carseats over the long haul are a
hassle.

when there's clear evidence though, that something is risky,   I make
choices make things as safe as they can be.   for me, it's not about a
scare tactic.  it's about sound evidence, logic and choices.
