sumary of a career-related article from The Guardian

The truth about sleeping with a baby :

A study in the UK said a baby can suffer a sudden death if they sleep with his parents, but that's not all there, are other problems that lead to this, for exmaple the probability the baby will suffer a sudden death will be increased if the parents smoke, taking drugs or drink alcohol

For this reason it's better if your baby sleeps in the cradle, and not in the bed with her parents, this sounds a litle strange and so annoying, the better can the parents do it's wake up in every time if your baby cries and if it's posible the best is feed your baby in a chair, and inclusive in the british medical journal you can read "the safest place for a baby to sleep is in its own cot".

Another important thing it's the people black of Africa, the Maoris, and the aboriginal people of United States the sudden deaths of the babies are so high but in the Japan, Hong Kong, and another people of Asia, the sudden deaths are so low. This study shows the factor of the drugs, cigarrete and alcohol in the parents is a very important factor of the sudden deaths of the babies, and we need to control this, the best idea is sleep with the cradle beside your bed, in this case you can hear if your baby have a problem.
