From a biological point of view, one question begs answering: why or how could 40 - 60 % of otherwise healthy
infants have
sleep problems to solve and if this is percentage is anything near the
truth then the cultural and or scientific models of normal healthy
sleep that underlie our cultural ideologies must reflect far more
about adults than they do
about babies.
Once two large factors of SIDS had been removed from statistics, that of prone
sleeping (which is entirely unnatural in the cosleeping, breastfeeding
infant), and that of
sleeping with a smoking parent, the
truth about cosleeping and breastfeeding became quite apparent.
