Being told off for cosleeping

[Just Me]

I have found the WHO recommendations for bf that support co-sleeping here: http://whqlibdoc.who.int/publication...591544_eng.pdf (on pg 65 of the literature). It also sites the study that was undertaken to establish that recommendation in case anyone is interested.

I have also included the guidelines for SIDS here: http://www.sidsandkids.org/documents...nStatement.pdf

While SIDS does state that 'Sharing a sleep surface with a baby increases the risk of SIDS and fatal sleep accidents in some circumstances' it also goes on to outline the guidelines for safe co-sleeping practices in case anyone was interested. Everyone in here already seems to know what those practices are, but I thought I would link it in for anyone who is unsure.

Inertia - It is ridiculous that DOCs can take your kids away for co-sleeping. Don't they have enough to do already without taking perfectly safe babies away from their parents? Argh! That makes me mad! I was a behaviour managment teacher and worked with kids who were starved most of the time and DOCs didn't seem to be able to anything to help those kids, but they are wasting precious time and resources removing co-sleeping babies from their parents . . .
