Re: co-sleeping Japanese Style

   Investigate the back of the head of most of your Asian co-workers eg.
Chinese, Japanese.  Our back of the head are usually flat as a board from
sleeping on our backs;  I don't recall any Asian cultures putting their child
to sleep on their Stomach.
   For a while we slept on Tatami, the japanese straw floors,  our little
bassenette lies next to my wife so breast feeding was easy.  Even without a
bassenette one can put the baby a few feet away to the side of the room.
Heck the whole floor was a bed anyways.  It was good for our backs too.
