Gloria, as indicated below, couch sleeping is very dangerous...and the woman was asleep on the couch. I heard her say that the baby was between the back of the couch and her.. also she must have turned over at some time as she had her back to the baby. She put the baby back in the cot and 'found it' as she was too frightened to say she had fallen asleep and suffocated it. It has been blamed on extreme fatigue of new mothers and co-sleeping. Big hoo-ha. MM
Whenever one hears of a co sleeping death, the question needs to be asked "Was the adult medicated or drunk?" GL SIDS figures show that falling asleep (or sleeping intentionally as well probably) on a couch with a baby is far more dangerous than co-sleeping in bed. -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
