The lack of solid definitions in all the sleep hysteria is one of the things that bothers me the most. SIDS: an unexplainable infant death. unless you include soft bedding and entrapment as risk factors in your brochures SUDI: Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy. unless you call it Sudden Unexplained Death in Infancy. Two very, very different meanings, and even the CDC confuses them in its literature Bed-sharing: sleeping in the same bed. unless you include sleeping on the same sofa or the same recliner Co-sleeping: sleeping in the same room. unless you define it as bed-sharing. With such murky definitions and consequently unreliable medical examiner reports, why on earth would we think we can set national policy??
