What's the likelyhood of suffocating a child sleeping in your bed?

Mr Jenkins, biblical precedents aside and based on the statistically insignificant sample size of three children in four years, I can confidently state that possibility of overlaying is as close to an impossibility as I am aware of.

Mind you, during this period I’ve never gone to bed in a triple bunk pissed, stoned or with malevolence which might make a difference.

However, my firm recommendation to you is get the adorable Binky out of your own bed and into a bassinette or similar personal space asap, for your personal harmony and well being will be outside your control until you do.

You can’t negotiate with terrorists and newborns. :smiley:

Now THAT is the sort of thing I would have expected from Cecil, not the lousy bible answer he gave.

I think Cecil died and they replaced him with one of those Neural-net computer programs.

Thank you particlewill … I just hope you haven’t dropped me in the shit… i.e. damn presumptuous, smart arse newbie from the wrong hemisphere gives specious example on how to feed the masses and gets designated as persona non-grata for his troubles. :smiley:

Mind you it was a bit of a bummer to watch the equivalent thread by Thornz draw all the attention. [sobs pathetically to himself, activates rejection reflex and crawls back under rock] :slight_smile:
