Losing a child to cosleeping

[shereenskola]

I'm a reporter in Wausau, Wisconsin, working on a story about the trend of cosleeping. My best friend lost a baby to cosleeping about 18 years ago - such a tragedy! I am writing an article about the trend, and I'd like to talk about the potential dangers. If anyone is willing to talk with me about their experience, I'd love to hear from you - especially those in Wisconsin - to help get the word out, and potentially save lives in the process.
I can be reached at [e-mail] - I'm a reporter for the Wausau Daily Herald. Thank you all for considering my request, and for maintaining this great support board for grieving parents. Knowing what my friend went through - STILL goes through 18 years later - my heart goes out to you all.
Thank you for considering my request.

I don't know if this is any help I never have as a child or when I had my own, and I can't sleep with a child in the same bed with me. In this day and age a child oly say you touched them and the law i on you and your in jail.

My husband's daughter slept with her youngest I am pretty sure she did ths with her oldest they ( the children are 5 years apart. She had a run in with DSS (dept. of Socail Services due to a relative lone story) and they told her NOT TO sleep with the child in the bed she could somther the child.

We have had custody of the kids and the one would for what reason I am not sure but she would say she had a bad dream and ask to sleep with us she is 9 at the time I felt this was a tad old to be requesting this but my husband let her sleep on the floor next to the bed I didn't feel she was to be in the room at all and he should of asured her all was well and nothing would harm her and she is safe. But this was not done.

I when I was young I ws always in MY WON BED and never got in bed with my sister, But the two kids sleep with each other the one is 10 now and the other 5, we have bunk beds for them and I said they SHOULD sleep in their own bed but my husband doesn't agree. I think the oldest is to old I just resently had them bath seperately because the older one is showing signs of matirity and i think she need not bath with her youngest sister.

YOu may want to put in this that if they sleep together tow of the same sex and chicldren do they bathe together this might go hand and hand I don't know I never did this when I was young but I was raised in the north and I am in the south this could be something to it to as to if you were raise like in the north or south for example as to how things are.

I don't know what else to tell you I hope this is some use.
