    The city really needs to do it's research before pushing this in such a wrong way.
    Co-sleeping is ONLY discouraged if you are drinking or taking medication. Obviously no water beds, etc.

    It is completely safe and best for baby to co-sleep, and it even reduces SIDS.
    They should at least promote the message in the correct way and do their research before they push against something so good for mother and baby. There are so many resources out there. This is disguisting what they are doing!

    I have co-slept and breastfeed all three of my children. I never ever would endanger my babies life. I find this very very upsetting! I think they better back off and not upset the mamas in this country.
