How about the baby who died because through unknown causes in its own room, that could have been saved if it was in your own bed?

everything carries a risk. Do what seems natural and right for you.

Yes, the reality is terrible, but as with anything else, it's risk/reward. I would rather enjoy the reward of going outside, even though there's a chance I will be struck by a car.

In my opinion, the reward to the parents and the baby from co-sleeping outweighs the risks. You should of course take precautions to mitigate the risk.

Definitely avoid those sleeping positioners.

Of course. But that doesn't add strength to the argument that you shouldn't sleep with your baby.
