People have been sleeping with their babies for a long time. It has to be something else.

Please see my post CD. I had the same reaction but I posted before you.

Sleeping with babies just does NOT kill them. You’ll have to convince me.

I'm guessing most of these moms are single, with multiple children and receive little to no help from the father(s) of these kids. They are also probably young and uneducated.

At the end of the day they are physically and emotionally exhausted and when they go to sleep, they sleep harder and are less likely to be responsive to a baby in peril.

Just my $0.02.

Morbid obesity?

Haven't these people ever heard of a basinette?
