[quote=Anonymous]This is such a tragic story. And I do see it as a parental leave related issue. The baby was improperly placed to sleep on his side. The parents presumably were placing him to sleep on his back at home, properly; thus, this would not have happened if he were still at home with a parent. I suspect that being placed on his side has a lot to do with his death.

Those who are blaming the mom are cruel (side note: why isn't anyone blaming the dad? Not that they should but it's telling that this is all being blamed on mom).

It's not a simple stay home or go back to work issue. It is not as though having a SAHP solves all problems and does not create any problems.  Having one parent SAH is great in many ways, but it puts the family in a more precarious financial situation such that if the working parent loses his/her job, then the family can easily get into financial trouble quickly.

I have been both a WOHM and SAHM. Both have benefits to then family and drawbacks.
