The only thing I'm criticizing is the general attitude toward people who might not think like you do. I'm not criticizing you for your choices at all. You have every right to do what you think is best for your family. |
LOL, except you did criticize co-sleeping. You were incredulous that anyone would suggest it because it is so unsafe, then you stated that the people you support in not vaccinating their children would never "think of putting their children in harm's way" by co-sleeping...when the fact is those are the very people who suggest co-sleeping. You even accused me of making cheap shots at them when I mentioned they are the main advocates. |

I don't think anyone would suggest an infant be in bed with a parent who could roll over on him while sleeping.

Most people who are the anti-vaxxers of the crunchy granola/natural living mindset (not the religious God will protect kind), are also safety conscious individuals (especially when it comes to their children), and would never think of putting their infant in harm's way.

A parent who leans toward natural living would never purposely put their child in harm's way. They may not have enough information about co-sleeping, but if they believe they are taking the proper precautions then who is to tell them what to do. If something should happen to the child because they did not entertain certain dangers, they will be the ones that pay a hefty price, unfortunately.
Just like the woman said, it might be a bonding experiencing but safety has to come first. One danger (being sleep deprived) does not justify the other.
