While waiting for research actually comparing the dangers of babies’ sleeping in cribs versus sleeping with parents, I read of the latest crib recall. This time it’s 1.59 million Delta cribs (yes, you read that right, million with an m), the biggest single recall in a string of crib and bassinet recalls over the last few months. In September the Consumer Products Safety Commission recalled 600,000 Simplicity drop-side cribs and another million of a different type of Simplicity cribs. In August it recalled 900,000 cribs. The recalled cribs had been linked to a number of infant deaths.
So I’m still skeptical about New York state’s campaign against co-sleeping. Where’s the science that says it’s better than the alternative?

The science (or math) goes like this...the more cribs advertised, pushed, sold is directly proportional to the amount of children they will harm. For example, there is a very real number of child death related to crib sleeping (this number is hidden for good reasons)… so the more cribs in the world, they more deaths associated.
