my guess would be not as firm on the sids thing or maybe uneven wear?. We did and did not use baby to baby, hard to understand without knowing the story. I always knew that their were 2 things you werent supposed to pass down, a crib mattress and shoes, I always thought the mattress thingw as similiar to shoes b/c it isnt good for their back b/c they wear out and conform more in the areas the child sleeps most in, etc. W/ my 1st I didnt know this so used the used crib mattress that came with her crib but then I read about it and also read that you shouldnt use foam mattresses in toddler beds so when we got her toddler bed when she was 1 we went and bought her a spring mattress. Since she only used it for a year before we got her a twin bed I felt the mattress couldn't have much wear to it so we did pass that one on. But when #3 came along we got her a new mattress b/c her sister had used that crib mattress for another 4 years. But we kept that mattress as a spare for sleepovers, kids on my bedroom floor, etc. Then we got a 2nd crib and mattress from freecycle so we had 1 new mattress and 2 used mattresses. The 1 stayed a spare, the other was used in her crib and then toddler bed and the 3rd was used with the spare crib in the side car. When #4 came along he didnt and still doesnt sleep in a crib regularly so we had to decide what went where. We left the new mattress in her toddler bed and the 1 in the sidecar where it had been and used the other in his crib b/c he never slept in it. Probably we should have put the better one in the sidecar b/cat least ppl on occasion sleep in it lol. This week Joeys has slept in his crib zero times, sarah has slept in her toddler bed zero times but Sarah has at least spent the beginning of the night in the sidecar (and him in the cosleeper).
Yes I have a baby bedroom noone sleeps in and a cosleeper on one side and a sidecarred crib on the other side of my bed

Interesting. It seems to me that most people use a matress from
baby to baby...I wonder why that would pose a higher sids risk?

mom, I was unaware of the dangers that the fumes found in mattresses
let off. This can be causing a great many cases of sids. I have
decided to purchase one of these cotton mattresses, I will still use
my target foam over it but I feel overall it is a better choice for
safety. ( I never knew that you are never supposted to reuse a
mattress from baby to baby because of an increased risk of SIDs) I
know this is not a SIDs website but I was researching answers to
helping plagio regression and found this helpful and informative.
