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.
