Also, I know a few friends who sleep with their babies. The stories of parents' crushing their babies as they sleep are basically legends that, unfortunately, mainly cover up infanticidal smotherings. Think of it this way: people have been sleeping with their babies for thousands of years with no large effect on the population. Even as tiny things, babies are loud (as Doug is no doubt finding out).
Congratulations Comrade!
