    Basically “you’re gonna roll over or strangle your baby in its sleep because it doesn’t have the strength OR noise making capacity to wake you when you’re strangling it”

      Surprisingly, that’s not the entire story of SIDS - but it is one of the biggest contributing factors to why co-sleeping can be unsafe. It’s also why alcohol consumption dramatically increases the dangers.

      Well that’s not true. My kids were loud as hell and I wake up. We only co slept with our middle son. He was just so needy and refused to sleep in his own bed. We wake up to him in the bed. Wasn’t until his younger brother was born before he stopped. Luckily the new baby had no issues sleeping in his own bed.

        You’re obviously misunderstanding what is being said.

        If you roll over in your bed and into an infant it will not be loud enough or strong enough (often times, enough that we know this is a problem) to wake a full grown adult.

        That’s what is being said.

        You don’t have to like the stats, but you can’t pretend they aren’t real.
