Hi all,
We have a co-sleeping policy where I work so women who haven't got lots of
pain relief on board are encouraged to cuddle up with their babies.
I have long thought that we get a glimse of the race memory of co-sleeping
when we have a cat or dog on the bed and we often dont move or feel
Hi Raelene,
We have a policy that allows co-sleeping.We had more concerns about
babies falling out of bed(did actually happen) rather than them being
smothered by mums so our policy just makes sure the bed rail is up on
which ever side of mum the baby is sleeping with a pillow against the
bed
off the bed to make it. I was always afraid a baby would end up in
the linen skip one day

There's no doubt that co-sleeping is the norm for indigenous women. In my

the aboriginal women would be puzzled as to why the other (ie white) babies
