And co-sleeping for all 5 years is needed for calm adults? Is simply responding to cries quickly before the baby is fully awake enough?

So even if you're not smoking around your baby, you still exhale smoke around her later. Babies lungs are so young hat it affects them a lot more than it does an adult.
