Nice article! I love it when people post articles for me to read.
I like this statement, “Assuming no hazardous circumstances, the safest place for a breastfeeding infant may be in bed with their mother.”
And this one:
“Finally, because SIDS occurs in a dose-response fashion with respect to breastfeeding duration (I), it is possible that promotion of solitary sleep may indirectly increase SIDS rates.”
SIDS has always been frightening to me. I had previously read studies linking breastfeeding and the reduction of risk for SIDS, so I did feel a bit better that I breastfeed. I also read that co-sleeping (when done properly) can reduce the risk of SIDS (due to regulating the baby’s respiratory system—which goes through a huge leap of development between 2-4mo of age), so I’ve always kept my baby close.
Anyway, this was a fun read
