It's just so irresponsible - MMR take up rates have dropped below that needed for herd immunity in parts of England - all because the Press wanted a good headline.
Now parents are going to be too scared to co-sleep, find night feeding too hard and start bottle feeding. Breastfeeding rates are low enough in Britain as it is. (I'm not saying it's not possible to breastfeed without co-sleeping, but it is a hell of a lot easier).
