My 1st child died of SIDS when he was 9 months and 2 days old. He had always slept in a crib, however the night that he passed away he was in an adult bed at the babysitters house.

I have read many of the statistics, and I do not feel that having your child sleeping with you increases the risk of SIDS. However, I believe there are other risks involved, such as the ones you mentioned in your original posting.

I have a 3 and 1/2 year old that sleeps in my bed now, and has since she was born basically ( on and off in the crib). As you can imagine having lost a baby, I wanted my daughter with me at all times....more for my sanity than anything....HOWEVER, I have created a beast now, and I don't know when I will be able to get her back into her own bed.

I think that there are risks involved in anything you do, you just have to decide what is most comfortable for your situation, and make you that you live everyday with your children to the fullest.
