Could we do a MN guide to safe co-sleeping?

Or is that just too controversial? I have read the results of the study published in the BMJ, the FSID's misinterpretation of those results and the disappointment of the study's leadership team that the FSID feel that it's too complex a message to give new parents who would like to explore bed-sharing.

Or if MN are wary about putting their name to it (even as a pdf) could we have a sticky with co-sleeping tips?

I really struggled as a new mum to find any reliable information about co-sleeping because it seems like such a taboo in the UK. And like someone else said on the cosleeping thread, I tried not to but ended up falling asleep in a chair with my DS squashed down the side - far more dangerous!

So many of us do it (or want to but are too scared) and a guide to doing it safely would help all new parents avoid the kind of late night manic web trawl I went through.

Am quite prepared to be shouted down here but would like to hear what others think.

Evening all.

We do already have some stuff about co-sleeping here which includes links to Unicef advice - though not the very latest statement.

But yes, we could do with updating it to reflect the BMJ study: we'll put that on our to-do list.
