Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.SO Deborah Jackson likes to sleep with her baby in the same bed - good (``The family that sleeps together'', Sunday Review, 27 November). She suggests from inconclusive evidence that this reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
There are far too many amateurs proselytising their own views to insecure mothers.
Lying a baby face down was not traditional in this country, but a trend started in the 1970s with insufficient evidence to support it.
