Reason # 106 WICWTR

Don't know how many more times I can stand by as silent witness 
to the unbearable pain of watching a young family 
realize their baby is dead - 
as a result of co-sleeping.

With the very best intent of cuddling a beloved baby, 
getting skin to skin contact 
and
bonding with an infant,
the reality is 
every time 
you bring your baby into bed with you,
you're playing Russian Roulette.

CAN your child survive if they sleep in your bed?
Yes. 
Mine did.
Is there a guarantee they will?
No.

Trust me,
NO ONE ever thinks
it will happen to their family.
EVERYONE thinks
they're light enough sleepers to 'know'
if their baby is in distress.

How lucky do you feel?

I saw another family last night
who will never feel 'lucky'
again.
