API's Response to the CPSC
API and members of the parenting community refute the CPSC's recent claim that co-sleeping is inherently dangerous. We maintain that when precautions are followed, co-sleeping with infants is safe and offers a multitude of benefits for both child and parent. We urge the CPSC to work to make all sleeping environments as safe as possible and provide parents with the information they need to make the decisions which are best for their family.
