[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the person who hadn’t heard of lap infants being injured:

3 babies suffered broken spines due to turbelence on a flight last year. https://www.mommyish.com/three-babies-suffer-broken-spines-severe-turbulence-flight/[/quote]

And over 3,000 infants die annually from unsafe sleep- I’m assuming you never once let your baby sleep in a swing or rock n play, bedshared, put a blanket in the crib, etc. I didn’t, even though I’ve flown with a lap infant- because it’s impossiblw to prevent every possible tragedy so I focus on the statistically common ones. I bet if a hidden camera recorded your parenting for a week we could find plenty of instances of supposedly perfect parents making less than perfect choices. Because that’s how real life works.[/quote]

You don’t understand stats. Just because unsafe sleep deaths are slightly more common doesn’t make them statistically common. Plus, the research suggests most of those deaths are the result of underlying conditions unrelated to how the infants were sleeping.[/quote]
