I've been away for a while, haven't read recent mail, but was concerned about the suffocating baby article. Forgive me if these points have already been made: 1. As a mom who sleeps with my own baby, I NEVER recommend that an infant sleep between her/his parents. In my own experience of watching my husband almost roll over on our daughter, I've figured out that dads just sometimes don't have that "sixth sense" that moms have, the one that keeps us in tune with where our babies are at all times. 2. Who knows? Maybe the baby died of other reasons, and the press/doctors/public was quick in its rush to judgement that this "weird" sleeping arrangement contributed to the death. 3. Where are the articles about the babies that die every year from ABM feeding? Or from accidents that might happen because the parents are a room away from their babies, and cannot hear what's going on? 4. The family bed is the best thing in the world, next to breastfeeding, of course. Karen, mom to 2 happily co-sleeping daughters
