I recently picked up a copy of American Baby while waiting in line and read part of an article on how to sleep well with a new baby in the house. I almost started crying and screaming simultaneously! They actually put in print that many parents find it helpful to put the baby's room on a different floor of the house so that they only awaken when the baby's screams are so loud that they know it's important. 
I could not believe the irresponsibility of this sick magazine encouraging such a practice. Almost no consideration at all was given to co-sleeping and in a Q and A they told a new mom that 2 months is more than old enough to be moved out of mommy and daddy's room and put alone in the crib!!!! So, I have sent e-mails letting them hear about a different side of the issue and letting them know that I found the article offensive and one sided not to mention irresponsible and inhumane. I just wanted to encourage anyone else to check it out and do the same. Maybe these people are just disgustingly ignorant and they need some good parents to let them in on some worthwhile sleep solutions.
