"Black infants and Latino infants are three times and 2.5 times more likely to die while sharing a bed, respectively." "more likely" compared to who? /s

What is the "white secret" the "Asian secret"?

[bboop]

What?? Now the government wants to be IN our beds?? Can we examine some of the variables, please? Meth + addiction; drunkenness; how many adults in the bed; rats - will make a different bed-sharing mortality.

We did the family bed with 6 kids in succession and they are the most well adjusted humans you’d ever meet and no, they were never in danger of being hurt. Only a fool would suffocate or hurt their child in this situation. 95% of the world raises their kids this way but idiots in this country think everyone has multiple bedrooms or beds for all of the people. Nothing wrong with this, only the idiots that are 600 pounds and roll over on their kids and kill them. Like everything, when you get to the bottom of it- you’ll find knuckle draggers bringing the rest of us down.

This s is crap
We used a cosleeper when the babies reached 6 months so baby could be right by mama
The dr sears bullcrap about letting my your infant cry itself to sleep alone in another room is pure evil
The infant wants and needs mommy 24/7 or as close to as possible

Typical NJ

[pepsi_junkie]

My family is in NJ. My daughter had bad reflux and, hence, sleep issues. My wife wanted her in with us. So in she came. One thing I learned: that little grub zealously sought out heat and I was the best source. So she'd scramble across the bed and jam herseld into the my back, shoulder high (I seep on my side). I'd instinctively slide away a bit and she'd quickly scramble back into her little spot. This would repeat until I was precariously perched on the knife edge of the bed. To my rear, a sleeping baby that I dare not roll onto. To my front, a drop to the floor.

My daughter slept well in with us. Me, well, sleep became an interesting hypothetical scenario for me in those days...

What is the "Asian secret"?

[TheWriterTX]

All 3 of my kids slept in a bassinet right by the bed. I slept with my head at the foot of the bed so I could always have one hand on them while they slept. When my 2nd came along, I was so exhausted I fell asleep feeding her and pulled the covers over both of us. My firstborn came in to wake me up because he heard the baby crying under the covers. Never did that again. Unbridled fear kept me awake from the point on.

This is why the net is bad:

41 dead infants
41 posters in irrational disagreement

It would be interesting to do a study to see when these kids die during each year, as in one month, as it wouldn’t surprise me to see a spike in the summer.
(people can draw their own conclusions from that)

Having enough beds and sober parents. Though the sobriety part is not exclusive to non-White parents I just figure it is very likely a factor.

[gnarledmaw]

Sober mom and dad in bed at the same time.

[familyop]

Difficult problem. Newborns need nursing every 3-4 hours at first, and mothers are very exhausted. Putting them in prisons would be similar to the French Foreign Legion shooting its sleeping fireguards.

Knock, knock .... I’m here from the State of New Jersey to inspect your bed practices. That’s OK, don’t mind me. Just act natural and do what you would normally do in bed; however, remember that unless you are a member of Congress, Hollywood, or rich elite, I can and will cite you for any actions that endanger children.

We’re not going to stop all problems and make the world perfect. Commie-fascists and gossiping neighborhood pecking order hens will never learn.
