Little do they realize that she will soon become as constant a presence in their lives as map-wielding tourists in the Yard and soggy French fries in the dining hall.

James McKenna, a Notre Dame professor familiar with baby-parent sleeping patterns, hints that babies who sleep with their parents may be at a lower risk for SIDS. McKenna told the Associated Press that even in the deepest stages of sleep, mothers respond within seconds to their baby?s slightest noises.
