Of the 16 citations in this article, most of them don't seem to have to do with the question of whether bedsharing (under the seven conditions) increases the chance of SIDS and/or suffocation. Citation 12 hypothesizes why bedsharing with a breast-feeding mother reduces the time infants sleep in the prone position. Citation 14 through 16 is about breast-feeding vs not breast-feeding in regards to bedsharing. Citation 11 contains two studies, one with 20 mother/infant pairs and the other with 26 mother/infant pairs. It compares breast-feeding vs not breast-feeding with regards to bedsharing. I don't see how that allows the author to come to the conclusion that "safe sleep seven" practices result in the same chance of SIDS/suffocation as crib sleeping best practices. It looks like the author is making a claim and citing sources that only justify why the author believes that claim to be true. It doesn't actually provide statistical evidence that the claim is true. Here's a study that showed that bedsharing increases the risk of SIDS, even when the parents don't smoke or take alcohol or drugs (although the absolute risk is small in both cases, 0.08 vs 0.23 per 1000 live births): https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/3/5/e002299.short https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/3/5/e002299.short Edit: I found a couple of other studies that said there wasn't significant difference in risk of SIDS when you take out non-breastfeeding / smoking / drinking / etc. However, that brings me to my earlier question: do these statistics lump together suffocation with SIDS?
