Actually it was aimed at very overweight Parents sleeping on either side of a baby sandwiching that baby in, I have read reports of a baby that died that way in the USA on a another message board in the USA when i had my DD.
Also a very overweight woman who unsafely coslept on the lounge

It certanly wasnt a comment of any kind saying anything about bad mothers

And it wasnt about being overweight or very overweight I should say it was more about then needing to follow the guidelines because of it.. Which I still think is a fair comment...
Well actually Caro this is what you wrote, the last line is what I took offence to. You clearly stated that co sleeping with very overweight parents is not safe co sleeping. Which implies that very overweight people who co sleep are bad parents for co sleeping in the first place. What you're saying is that it's okay aslong as one of the parents isn't overweight. As I stated my DH is of an athletic build, you'd be very hard pressed to find an once of fat on him, but he is the deepest sleeper and he tosses and turns and snores all night long, I would never leave a baby in bed with him cause he is likely to roll on him. People who are heavy sleepers probably shouldn't co sleep more so than people who are fat. You didn't say anything about sticking to the guidelined in that post although in retrospect I'm sure that's what you were impling. My problem was with the last added rogue statement in this particular post. Which I have already apologised for misunderstaning you.
Ooooh Chloe how scary and yep that is what Co Sleeping is all about...I know what you mean when our DD Went to her own room at 15mths I freaked she had the breathing monitor under her and sound on as well heh heh ! until she went into the toddler bed
But she is the most confident sleeper and we have no problems

Aurora that is correct Overweight, really tired or intoxicated between two of them with soft mattresses and coverings IS A dangerous situation.

You need to have a Firm Matress , bubs in their own grobag for warmth and not inbwetween two parents but on one side of one parent

And sorry to say but co sleeping with very overweight parents is not safe co sleeping
Ryn exactly right it is awareness not weight that is the problem.
