In a study from England released earlier this week, over half of sudden infant death cases (SIDS) occurred when the baby was sleeping alongside a parent. In almost one-third of the SIDS cases, the parent was drinking or using drugs before falling asleep with the child. SIDS was also more likely among parents who fell asleep with their babies on couches than among those who co-slept in beds.
SIDS is the unexplained death of a seemingly healthy baby. Typically, the child is found dead after going to sleep and exhibits no signs of having suffered. Some 2,500 babies die of SIDS a year in the United States.

I changed the title because I felt the original title exaggerated the link in the findings.
