My cherry tree is covered in the darn JBs!!
My pumpkins and gourds have totally enjoyed the hot rainy weather we had in the beginning of the month. I can hardly see my tomatoes anymore. Thank goodness my cucumbers made it up the fence before the pumpkins drowned them out. It will sure be an orange Fall!

I had adopted a lab from a rescue about 8 years ago. He was a smart, well trained dog. One night (after I had him for 6 months)I yelled at him for eating my other dog's food and he ATTACKED me. I had to crawl across my floor with him on top of me and slam the laundry room door on him to get him off. I actually had to escape out the window. I suffered numerous wounds to my back, butt, and legs and will have horrible scars for the rest of my life. There was never an article in the paper about that. It can happen with any breed, even your precious family friendly labs!!

I have nothing against bottlefeeding or crib sleeping. Breastfeeding and sharing a safe family bed is what worked for our family. I just didn't want others to judge based on this one accident.

Sorry for all of the quotes, but I strongly believe in co sleeping if you are a responsible breastfeeding mother. A mother who is cosleeping and breastfeeding has a much closer bond and is extremely intuitive and sensitive to her baby's movements and needs. I am proud to say that I shared a safe family bed with both of my children and we still remain a close-knit family because of it. The instance of SIDS is much much lower in cosleeping situations as opposed to babies who sleep in cribs.
Please do your own research and do what is best for your family. Don't base your decision off of this horrible accident.

"DON'T ALLOW older siblings to sleep with a baby under nine months. Sleeping children do not have the same awareness of tiny babies as do parents, and too small or too crowded a bed space is an unsafe sleeping arrangement for a tiny baby."
"The physiological effects of sleep-sharing are finally being studied in sleep laboratories that are set up to mimic, as much as possible, the home bedroom. Over the past few years, nearly a million dollars of government research money has been devoted to sleep-sharing research. These studies have all been done on mothers and infants ranging from two to five months in age. Here are the preliminary findings based on mother-infant pairs studied in the sleep-sharing arrangement versus the solitary-sleeping arrangement (Elias 1986, McKenna 1993, Fleming 1994; Mosko 1994):
1. Sleep-sharing pairs showed more synchronous arousals than when sleeping separately. When one member of the pair stirred, coughed, or changed sleeping stages, the other member also changed, often without awakening.
2. Each member of the pair tended to often, but not always, be in the same stage of sleep for longer periods if they slept together.
3. Sleep-sharing babies spent less time in each cycle of deep sleep. Lest mothers worry they will get less deep sleep; preliminary studies showed that sleep-sharing mothers didn't get less total deep sleep.
4. Sleep-sharing infants aroused more often and spent more time breastfeeding than solitary sleepers, yet the sleep-sharing mothers did not report awakening more frequently.
5. Sleep-sharing infants tended to sleep more often on their backs or sides and less often on their tummies, a factor that could itself lower the SIDS risk.
6. A lot of mutual touch and interaction occurs between the sleep-sharers. What one does affects the nighttime behavior of the other."

from askdrsears.com:
"A conflict of interest? Who is behind this new national campaign to warn parents not to sleep with their babies? In addition to the USCPSC, the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) is co-sponsoring this campaign. The JPMA? An association of crib manufacturers. This is a huge conflict of interest. Actually, this campaign is exactly in the interest of the JPMA.
What does the research say? The September/October 2002 issue of Mothering Magazine presents research done throughout the whole world on the issue of safe sleep. Numerous studies are presented by experts of excellent reputation. And what is the magazine's conclusion based on all this research? That not only is sleeping with your baby safe, but it is actually much safer than having your baby sleep in a crib. Research shows that infants who sleep in a crib are twice as likely to suffer a sleep related fatality (including SIDS) than infants who sleep in bed with their parents."
