<p>I slept with both my kids as they night nursed for years and I am lazy.
I started sleeping with the oldest when she came home from the hospital and I kept myself awake all night checking on her breathing. ( she weighed less than 4 lbs @ discharge and had been ten weeks early)
I believe in the buddy sleeping theory- unless you are drunk or drugged- we aren’t in a coma, we are just asleep.</p>

<p>I find it interesting how a busy exec can forget his child in a car and get sympathy, but a young mom, who may not have had child care for her baby is arrested for manslaughter</p>
