Parents to Be Prosecuted For Accidental Co-Sleeping Deaths?
Lawmakers discuss a wake-up call for co-sleeping parents. Prosecutors around the country are weighing the possibility of charging parents who accidentally "roll-over" their tots while drunk or high with child-neglect. According to the Wall Street Journal, an Oregon district attorney "has drawn a fairly hard line on bed-sharing death cases: He will prosecute them when they involve alcohol or drugs."
Safer Options For Co-Sleeping and In Room Alternatives
Finding a place where baby can sleep and mamas can relax is the subject of much debate. Attachment parenting experts and nursing moms tout the conveniences and bonding experience created through co-sleeping, while many doctors and experts point out the safety risks associated with the practice.
Despite the fact that the American Academy of Pediatrics and CDC have linked co-sleeping to an increase in infant suffocation rates, 53 percent of lilsugar readers haven't changed their views on deciding to snuggle up with their tots.
Do Infant Suffocation Stats Change Your View of Co-Sleeping?
When it comes to putting baby down to bed, the majority of lilsugar readers said they don't mind sharing their mattress with their mini me. Fifty-one percent of you are for co-sleeping, but a recent study by the CDC reported that infant suffocation, which is tied to bed sharing, has quadrupled in the last twenty years.
Does this sway your opinion?
Are You For or Against Co-sleeping?
When it is time to put baby to sleep, some parents believe in the family bed and others insist their infant settle themselves into a sound slumber.
Many nursing moms find it hard to get any shut eye if they don't allow their newborn to nestle up near them, while couples concerned with a good night's rest or private time opt out.
