Maybe your columnist should consider researching the subject before writing an article. Here is a good place to start, I hope you consider the University of Notre Dame a credible source... http://www.nd.edu/~jmckenn1/lab/articles/McKenna_why%20babies%20should%20n.pdf
12/11/2009 05:19:19 PM Report AbuseThe way you, and many other publications and agencies, present the information is irresponsible. A good analogy would be claiming that it is impossible to safely operate a motor vehicle based on accident statistics for drunk drivers not wearing safety belts. The truth is; intentional co-sleeping HAS been studied independently of drug, alcohol, and tobacco use and when practiced safely by nursing mothers it LOWERS SIDS rates.
12/11/2009 05:19:06 PM Report AbuseShame on you Parents Magazine. Your article in this issue bashing co-sleeping is an prime example of the perpetuation of bad information. Grouping together drunk or drugged mothers, smokers, and couch sleeping fathers with intentionally co-sleeping breastfeeding mothers is absurd.
