Today marks six months since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that took the lives of 20 children and six adults. Although the massacre committed by Adam Lanza happened half a year ago, the wounds remain fresh as parents and residents of the little Newtown, Connecticut town remember the most tragic day they've ever experienced.

Mendez died while the child survived with serious multiple injuries.

A new study has revealed that sleeping in bed with your baby raises the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) significantly. Though in America pediatricians have long recommended that babies sleep on their backs in an empty crib, many parents still choose to co-sleep, especially in the early days when night wakings are frequent and everyone is exhausted. But the study suggests that even parents who co-sleep and take measures to lower the risk of SIDS such as breastfeeding and not smoking or drinking, are making an unsafe choice.
