Hi Barbara,
Like you, I am a bit shocked at the out of sight ,
out of mind - baby in nursery down the hall practice - it seems very tiny bubs
are sleeping alone - a monitor doesnt provide sensory input to a baby -
and this is what bubs would biologically expect according to James
McKenna.
I mention the UK Sids foundation who did a big
promotion in Feb this year in conjunction with Babies R Us - about sleep safe ,
share a room with me.
Several studies show significantly reduced
risk ( around 53% in a study reported in Lancet) when babies share a room with a
responsile adult - this is listened to by parenst even if the emotional needs
stuff isnt.

I hope this doesn't sound like a big sales pitch
- but have you read these testimonials from parents and medical professionals
about our Safe T Sleep Sleepwraps. It talks about the testing and
trialing of the products in hospitals on children, the safety and benefits all
have found. Have a look if you like www.safetsleep.com/scanned/safety/scan001.pdf
Cheers, Bev

Dear Midwives and
friends,
We are being made aware of safe
sleeping / co-bedding with babies.
Is there any data or information about the safety of baby in another
room with baby monitor?
Am I just getting past it? I feel very sad that babies sleep
down the hall and parents think all is wonderful because the monitor is on,
especially as the monitors are only one way!
Barbara,
Parkes
