Never Say Never (Today's Parent article)

Here is a portion of an article by Randi Chapnik Myers in the November 2011 issue of Today's Parent:

Sleep With Me? Never!
Game changer: Reesa Cohen, mom to Evan, *8, Surrey, BC
When Reesa Cohen was pregnany, she was horrified when the news reported a woman had accidentally smothered her baby in bed.  It was a warning that stuck with Cohen - until her son turned one.
   "We moved Evan into his own room, and he started waking up crying at midnight and keeping me up to 4 a.m. every night," Cohen says.  The next thing she knew, she was delirious from exhaustion, and would try just about anything to send her child into la-la land, including the one tactic that she'd always thought was unsafe - co-sleeping.
   For mother and son, the arrangement was pure love. (underline inserted by me for emphasis because this is how I feel).  "We would snuggle and,within seconds, Evan would be dreaming, " Cohen says, pointing out that her son sleeps better when he feels comforted.  Now that Evan is eight, he still slips into her king-size bed when he's scared, cold or just needs his mom.  "And he knows I'm happy about it," she says.
