[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh and it's cool that you know "lots" of people that do it. I know two that have died from SIDS (including my sister). It's not worth it. [/quote]

From sleeping in a rock n play?  I'm sorry for your loss, but how old are you?[/quote]

Does it matter (it was 19 years ago). The point is, every advisory says not to sleep in car seat or bouncers for long periods of time and especially not attended (advice is to lay on flat surface). Why do parents insist on advising people to do this? To make it easier? It is not worth it, there are so many other options. [/quote]

There are minimal increased risks with many, many parental decisions.  Guilting parents for these decisions is silly. To cite a common example, a sleep-deprived parent may crash the car.   Almost everyone understands that sleeping on its back with no blankets on a flat surface in the same room but not the same bed is the recommended safest sleep environment.

Like the other PP I am very sorry for your loss.  Your comment is a bit vague about the SIDS deaths - were they (as I suspect) car seat, swing, bouncer deaths?  Or were they actual rock n play deaths, from this specific product?  The reason I ask is because I have googled the hell out of this and have weirdly not found any specific SIDS deaths attributable to RNPs.  On the other hand, many SIDS deaths result in other sleep environments including the recommended one.  There are no guarantees and we have to do the best we can.  My pediatrician says the RNP is safer than a car seat or bouncer.[/quote]
