Did anyone watch the special on TV today about the 3 deaths in L.A. The babies where all sleeping with their parents and now my MIL is worried about our 3 month old daughter. Any ideas?

First of all, that is very very sad...

I don't co-sleep, kiddo was in a side-crib after the first three months (crazy sleeper) but I know that there are very strict rules (no covers no pillows... etc) just reassure your mother that you are taking all the precautions and the benefits of co-sleeping are immeasurable... plus a ton of people have co-slept for years and there are very very few problems when done correctly.

That's sad.

As for you MIL, find out how many babies died in their cribs alone in LA. Also, print out info on safe co-sleeping. Likely the babies who died, were not be co-slept with safely.
