There are many research studies that suggest that co-sleeping may reduce the risk of SIDS.

Also Dr. Sears' Website says this:
The September/October 2002 issue of Mothering Magazine presents research done throughout the whole world on the issue of safe sleep. Numerous studies are presented by experts of excellent reputation. And what is the magazine's conclusion based on all this research? That not only is sleeping with your baby safe, but it is actually much safer than having your baby sleep in a crib. Research shows that infants who sleep in a crib are twice as likely to suffer a sleep related fatality (including SIDS) than infants who sleep in bed with their parents.
Any thoughts? (This is a spin off from another
forum on night time sleeping.)
