PSA

Hey for those of you with small kids. I found out yesterday that they've recalled more cribs in the last two years than ever before. I also found out that they recalled Fiona's last January. Today they recalled her crib again for a much more serious reason (hello 4 deaths yikes!). The company that manufactures her crib will provide a free kit to fix the two issues so that's good. I thought I'd mention it in case any of you have cribs on the list. It would obviously be a very bad thing for a child to be hurt because the parent didn't have information they needed.

Thanks. Our crib is not the brand being recalled but it does have a drop down side that we have NEVER used. It is not plastic. I think I can tighten it up OR Patrick can nail it closed.

ACK!

"Say, you know that thing you rely on to keep your child safe and, oh, NOT DIE in? Well, we made a small mistake..."

ACK!
Have you seen the pic of the stuffed baby dummy demonstrating how a child can suffocate? I found it very disturbing even though it was a dummy.
*sheesh*

Roses- I know! I was thrilled to find out I'd been letting my daughter sleep in a death trap for two years (yikes). I haven't seen that pic. I think I'll take your word for it that it's disturbing.

TK- I'm sure it'll be fine. I don't expect Fiona will be sleeping in it next time we're down there but P&A/A&L will probably appreciate the effort.

i probably do, but since my "baby" is 6...i'll just check for the grandkids...

Honestly tho, I don't panic at things like this. Considering all the things our parents had to deal with as babys and they lived...

Course I say that as a parent who has been blessed with nothing she couldn't handle...
