![Alcohol use and sudden infant death syndrome [An article from: Developmental Review]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41409WSKV1L._SL160_.jpg)

Description:
Despite general evidence of fetal toxicities associated with sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), there has been limited research focusing on the effects of parental alcohol use on SIDS occurrence, either directly or in interaction with other risk conditions. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on parental, especially maternal, alcohol use and SIDS. We present a model illustrating the possible association of alcohol exposure with SIDS and then use this model to organize study findings. Results show that, despite some ambiguities, intrauterine alcohol exposure is associated with SIDS. Parental postnatal use appears to be linked as well. We conclude that alcohol ingestion is a presumptive risk factor weakening an infant's life-saving responses, and should be more rigorously studied in order to develop and implement appropriate public-health-based interventions.

![Bed-sharing, breastfeeding and maternal moods in Barbados [An article from: Infant Behavior and Development]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/418Y2JE5Q6L._SL160_.jpg)

Description:
Bed-sharing among Barbadian mothers and infants was studied in relationship to maternal and infant characteristics. This prospective study followed 226 healthy, well-nourished mother-infant dyads at birth, 7 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months postpartum. At each age, approximately half of the infants shared the same beds as their mothers. Bed-sharing was associated with demographic characteristics, especially fewer home conveniences, and also maternal characteristics, including less information seeking by the mother and younger maternal age at first pregnancy. Bed-sharing was also associated with lower infant birth weights. Maternal moods were significantly correlated with bed-sharing, such that mothers who reported having more despair and anxiety were also more likely to sleep with their infants. Bed-sharing was also significantly associated with increased breastfeeding at all infant ages, but this relationship was no longer significant once the effects of maternal moods were controlled. This study emphasizes the importance of assessing maternal moods in studies evaluating the risk and be
