Milwaukee co-sleeping ad stirs nationwide debate

A startling ad campaign launched by the City of Milwaukee and intended to awaken parents to the dangers of sharing a bed with an infant is stirring a national debate that is not just about co-sleeping but also about the ad itself. The ad depicts a baby sleeping in an adult bed, surrounded by puffy pillows and blankets. A large knife is tucked in the covers nearby. Above the image, the ad says: “Your baby sleeping with you can be just as dangerous.” (JOURNAL SENTINEL, 11/17)
