“Don’t Sleep with Big Knives” Interesting (and Promising) Developments in the Mother-Infant Sleep Debate Share this: Editorial The city of Milwaukee launches their most recent infant sleep campaign. On November 9, 2011, amid much fanfare and media attention, the city of Milwaukee unveiled their latest campaign to promote safe infant sleep. The images are disturbing to say the least—they were designed that way. “Co-sleeping deaths are the most preventable form of infant death in this community,” Barrett said. “Is it shocking Is it provocative” asked Baker, the health commissioner. “Yes. But what is even more shocking and provocative is that 30 developed and underdeveloped countries have better (infant death) rates than Milwaukee.” A campaign such as this has a noble goal: to prevent infants from dying. But does this type of campaign keep infants safe The tragic answer is “no.” In less than two months after this campaign was launched, two more infants had died in Milwaukee in what the press described as “cosleeping deaths.” http://www.jsonline. com/news/milwaukee/ad-campaign-unveiled-asanother-cosleeping-death-is-announced-s030073-133552808.html On January 3, 2012, WITI-TV, the affiliate Fox News in Milwa-ukee reported this: One-Month-Old Infant Dies in Co-Sleeping Incident Medical Examiner’s Report Says Baby Was Sleeping On Floor with Three Other Children The second death was of a 10-day-old infant who had died while sleeping with three other children on an adult bed. Neither of these infant sleep locations was safe and should not be classified as “bedsharing deaths.” The sad take-away we can learn from these cases is that “simple messages,” may be headline‐grabbing. But in the end, they do not communicate what parents need to know to keep their infants safe while sleeping. In the same month as the Milwaukee campaign was launched, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued their new policy statement and follow-up technical © 2012 United States Lactation Consultant Association 9
