They're equally bad.

I'll just give my standard advice for new parents: You will be beset from all sides with advice, much of it contradictory. Screw them. Use your own judgment. By that I don't mean don't take advice from anywhere. But look at the options (e.g., sleeping in bed with you or not) and info from sources you trust--whatever they are--and decide what's right for your family. Then don't let any turkeys tell you you're doing it wrong. If you decide something's not working, then change it.. but change it because you think it's not working, not because somebody told you to.
