Ugh, I'm from Milwaukee and I've seen these at bus stops. It makes me so mad! It has way more to do with poverty in the city than bedsharing.

AA, that is what I meant. There were ~20 cases of infants deaths that were linked to bed-sharing. A few where alcohol, smoking and/or drugs were possible indicators; however, in 100% of the cases, the infants were formula fed. Check this link out...hope it opens for you:

The most amazing part of this is that the infant mortality rate in Milwaukee is >1%. In Canada it's half of that (0.5%). In Britain even lower (0.45%). This is a serious SIDS problem for Milwaukee!! Probably not coincidentally, Milwaukee has much lower than State and National average breastfeeding rates. I wonder if that has more to do with their SIDS problem than bedsharing? Perhaps they should beef up their breastfeeding education campaigns?

AA, you have to stop getting me all riled up about this!! ;)

From http://bit.ly/tpJpfu: "Breastfeeding rates in Milwaukee are substantially lower then the estimated state and national rates, particularly among African Americans. Data show that 76% of women in Wisconsin report "ever breastfeeding" and that 48.1% report breastfeeding (not necessarily exclusively) at 6 months postpartum.

You forgot to put a picture of the baby being bottle fed formula. In 100% of the cases, the babies were formula fed.

I'd just change the text to say 'your baby sleeping in a cot on their own can be just as dangerous. Always sleep with your baby in the same room as you. Only share a bed if you know how to do it safely. For more information on safe co-sleeping call...'
