I think co-sleeping and SIDS are directly related. Studies have shown that children who co-sleep rarely suffer from SIDS. We're not 100% sure why, but it has been shown. And the amount of people that roll over on their children? How often do you think that actually happens? Sure, if the parent was completely intoxicated or something. I know you posted some stats that showed that kids did die from suffocation or from parents rolling over, but there are many factors to consider. Like KBlaix said, certain precautions need to be in place before and if you're stupid about it something could happen. If you have a baby sleeping next to you, I'm sure you'd still be conciously aware of that child throughout the night even though you don't think you would. Just my 2 cents.
