Yes. Plus delayed development, less sound sleep, less sleep for
the moms, etc. The BS campaign was a bad idea.


Can you show evidence of the supposed delays in development, and
less sound sleep?


Try this:

The pattern of early motor development is affected by sleep position.
(Stomach sleepers) attain several motor milestones earlier than (back
sleepers).

It doesn't back up your argument that sleeping supine is bad for
children:

“ ... now about a third of babies skip the step of crawling and
go right to walking,” says Dr. Dewling. “The babies in the study
that skipped the crawling stage,” says Dr. Dewling, “all learned
to walk at the same time as the babies who crawled"

" The study’s conclusion?
The pattern of early motor development is affected by sleep
position. (Stomach sleepers) attain several motor milestones
earlier than (back sleepers). However, all infants achieved all
milestones within the accepted normal age range. Pediatricians
can use this information to reassure parents. This difference in
milestone attainment is not a reason to abandon the American
Academy of Pediatrics’ (APA) sleep position recommendations.”

So is they are all learning to walk, what's the problem?
