It should have said 15,000 (NOT 150,000) children die each year in the US as a consequence of motor vehicle accidents. Sorry for that...<br /><br />DFDr. Daniel Flandershttp://www.kindercarepediatrics.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-75893025859185359272011-11-14T13:48:44.291Z2011-11-14T13:48:44.291ZSome stats to put this into perspective: 150,000 children die each year in the US as a consequence of motor vehicle accidents. Approximately 2500-5000 SIDS deaths occur per year in the US (many of which are not attributable to bedsharing). One could argue that banning children from automobiles would have a far greater beneficial impact than recommending against bedsharing. But we are generally comfortable with the risks of driving. On the other hand, we are led feel far less comfortable or far more guilty sleeping with our babies despite the risk being orders of magnitude lower.Dr. Daniel Flandershttp://kindercarepediatrics.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-72868232630953618502011-11-14T03:58:10.429Z2011-11-14T03:58:10.429ZGreat article!<br />Is there supposed to be a link to the UNICEF guidelines?BennyHadrianMumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17189029911238929516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-7665348191372860542011-11-13T08:49:26.453Z2011-11-13T08:49:26.453ZOh I do love you, Armadillo!<br /><br />I&#39;ve shared this on my weekly links post today: http://freeyourparenting.com/2011/11/13/sharing-sunday-16/freeyourparenting.comhttp://freeyourparenting.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102141287849407838.post-13757509096393482002011-11-13T05:50:55.714Z2011-11-13T05:50:55.714ZWonderful article.
