[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have information on how many of these things have been sold in the last year, or 10 years, or any other way of estimating use incidence? Then we could have a conversation around risk.[/quote] PP again. Let me try a very crude analysis. 4,000,000 babies were born in the US in 2015. Let's assume that 5% of them slept in a Rock N Play. If we multiply 200,000 times 7 (the 32 deaths occurred between 2011 and 2018, ie over 7 years), and divide 32 by the result, 1,400,000, we get 0.000023, or 0.0023 percent. The overall risk of SIDS in 2016 was 38 in 100,000, or 0.038 percent. Thus, one could conclude that a baby in a RnP is 16.5 times LESS likely to die of any cause than any given baby is likely to die of SIDS.. (And I would bet money that more than 5% of babies have slept in these, although probably not regularly.) So, should my newborn go straight into one of these when she's born?[/quote]
