Subsequently, by virtue of defining that an adult and infant
are unable to safely sleep on the same surface together, such as what occurs during bedsharing, even when all known adverse bedsharing risk factors
are absent and safe bedsharing practices involving breastfeeding mothers
are followed, an infant that dies while sharing a sleeping surface with his / her mother
is labeled a SUID, and not SIDS.26 In this way the infant death statistics increasingly supplement the idea that bedsharing
is inherently and always hazardous and lend credence, artificially, to the belief that under no circumstance can a mother, breastfeeding or not, safely care for, or protect her infant if asleep together in a bed.27 The legitimacy of such a sweeping inference
is highly
problematic, we argue, in light of the fact that when careful and complete examination of death scenes, the results revealed that 99 % of bedsharing deaths could
be explained by the presence of at least one and usually multiple independent risk factors for SIDS such as maternal smoking, prone infant sleep, use of alcohol and / or drugs by the bedsharing adults.28 Moreover, this new ideology
is especially troubling because it leads to condemnations of bedsharing
parents that border on charges of
being neglectful and / or abusive.
