Health And General Life Care: Re: [Plagio] SIDS and rented cribs

Could you share where you are getting all this SIDS and sudden child
info from? According to our ped., co-sleeping increases the risk of
sids.

chicco ones look really good- they are even on wheels when they're
in the travel bag. I agree about not knowing the brand and all. I
also considered even feeding him in his car seat or stroller as
well. I may not end up renting anything, I do have a walker and it
folds down and would most likely fit in his suit case- so yeah maybe
we will forgo renting anything ..

there's not much I can do- my pedi said not to worry but I still go
in and flip him over- will he be safe if he sleeps on his stomach in
a pack and play?

That said you can do so much and then you have to be realistic.
Just by not ever having the babya round 2nd hand smoke decreases
their risk by like 50%, and nots leeping on their tummy is the other
huge factor, the other factors are very small risks.

new, upkept and safe but I would feel better knowing exactly what I
had, brand, where it has been, cleanliness, safety, and even
features. So I personallyw ould want my own baby items. For a 7 mo
old we take a cosleeper (can be used like a pack and play) and a
stroller on vacation. If they cannot crawl (unusual for my 7 mo
olds) I would take a walker if I had the space. If they could crawl
I would take duct tape (for babyproofing). I use the cosleeper for
bed and for a safe place to put them if needed. I use teh stroller
for a seat, stroller and high chair (if needed, usually the hotels
we stay at have high chiars)

just buy a pack and play - I was always afraid of those matresses
b/c they seemed to be flimsy and thought he'd be at a higher risk
for SIDs in one of those but he's 7 months old- aren't we really out
of the danger zone at that point
