I don't know where you are HB but over here in England it is and hasd been a big NO NO for at least the past 30 years. hundreds of babies a year die because mothers fall asleep with their baby in the same bed or because mum fell asleep feeding baby, that is why babies have cots, so they do not get rolled on. you do not have to be intoxicated or drugged to roll on a baby, lack of sleep can be a result too as you are more likely to go into a deep sleep if you are very tired or had a disturbed night due to feeding baby.

I can't remember what, but there is something missing in breast and formula milk that children need, they have enough reserves to last for around 6 months when they are born, but after that they need to get it from proper food. that is why the recommended age to start weaning is between 4 and 6 months. just because you start weaning does not mean you stop milk feeds, the weaning tops up the milk for a good few months. bottle feeding till two will result in the teeth developing in such a way that they do not meet at the front when the teeth are clenched, the same goes for dummy suckers. children by 1 year old should be using sippy cups or straws, by two they should be using unlidded cups as these are better for their developing teeth.
