[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think putting something under one end of the crib or bassinnett to elevate it-such as blocks-would be much safer than sleeping in the rock n play. 10 infant deaths in barely 4 years, sounds like a dangerous product. I did not buy one for my dd, I'm not taking the risk.[/quote] NP. We tried that. Even as a newborn, DD would wiggle around so much that she would roll right down the inclined mattress. We were so absolutely exhausted from having to hold her to sleep all night that her pediatrician took one look at me and recommended a rock n play, just to get us through the early stages of reflux. He stated that, while the official recommendation is that flat on the back in the crib is best, some newborn babies just don’t tolerate that well. We transitioned her back to the crib once we saw an improvement in her reflux, around 3mo. LONG before she started to roll over. Used correctly (that’s the important part), I don’t see this as any more dangerous than having an exhausted, sleep deprived parent. We were far more of a risk to her running on little to no sleep, especially once I went back to work at 6 weeks.[/quote]
