I have four kid...Yes, I completely agree with you! I have four kids, 11, 10, 5, and 3. We co-slept with all of them. For that matter, my parents had 3 kids and also co-slept with all of us. I couldn't help but notice the statement in the article: "Some ZIP codes in Milwaukee have infant mortality rates higher than Third World countries." Seems to me they have a MUCH bigger issue than just co-sleeping (and I wonder how many of those kids were actually co-sleeping when they died).Heather the Mama Dukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03314177816405887405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2988856046961634814.post-25351447271167630362011-11-15T21:54:05.135-08:002011-11-15T21:54:05.135-08:00I completely agree with what you said about the ad...I completely agree with what you said about the advertisement.

First off, I didn't know yo...THANK YOU CHELSEA! First off, I didn't know you were a mom CONGRATS! Secondly, being a mother of 2 myself this just makes me irate! The link wouldn't work for me but, when living in N.C., I've seen stupid things like the ad you seem to describe. <br /><br />I can HONESTLY tell you that I wouldn't be able to live without my young child at least sleeping in my room until 6 months. It helps that my husband is deployed right now so the baby gets half the bed, but even if he were still home the baby would be in the pack-n-play next to the bed. This is ridiculous and people are just blowing smoke at this point! <br /><br />Thank you for being so straight-forward about your opinion :)Sarah-Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740795259885530510noreply@blogger.com
