I think is that's the choice the parents make and they take every possible precaution, like those things that keep you from rolling on to the baby, than who am I to say if it's right or wrong. I however don't feel it's the right choice for my family. My daughter is 4 and has slept with me only a handful of times in her life. I think it's just best for us if everyone sleeps in their own bed. There are to many things that can happen, and it's just not a risk I am willing to take. Crib mattresses are also made firmer to help prevent SIDS. In the end it all comes down to not wanting to share my bed. I keep the baby in my bedroom until they are about 8 wks (or out grow the bassinet) than they go to the crib. But for all the parents who feel that co-sleeping is what's best for their family, I say go for it, just be safe and smart.
