New born babies with knife: Milwaukee Ads Wake Parents Up to Risks of Co-Sleeping

Will you ever tuck a big butcher knife next to your new born baby? You will not. Then why are you co-sleeping with her? It could be as dangerous. That’s the raw message City of Milwaukee’s Health Department wants to propagate with an aim to ‘wake parents up to the dangers of co-sleeping.’

They surely get their point across, get your attention, but the question is, have they gone too far considering the sheer shock value associated with it. Isn’t it too personal for government to interfere? Co-sleeping has always been a matter of hot debate which will never be settled.

 Co-sleeping mom Christie Haskell believes that agency/health official should inform parents how to safely co-sleep (certainly not on stomach or fluffy bedding) rather than over dramatizing the whole issue.
