The great co-sleeping survey

If you’ve ever co-slept with your children, you might want to go take this really quick survey about co-sleeping.
Seems there’s a hulabaloo going around that co-sleeping is “unsafe”. Unsurprisingly, crib manuvacturers are the biggest detractors…

“Unsurprisingly.” Snort!
The WHO did a study that was reported in Mothering magazine on co-sleeping. The results were that it was safe in most instances. Not recommended for overly obese, drug impared (legal or not), drinking, smokers, and extremely tired. Not surprisingly the biggest detractors are crib manufacturers and most of the US studies were funded by them. First time I have wholeheartedly agreed with WHO.
In our house co-sleeping was bad for dad. He didn’t sleep well. And I’m of the view that being parented by unnecessarily sleep-deprived people isn’t healthy. But that was just us.
People should learn how to make their own decisions. Sure, studies might raise some issues worth considering but we aren’t all the same. I am disappointed in how many people have no confidence in their own ability to make a decision about almost anything.
