But, let's take a look at the past, shall we? Our grandparents just did whatever they felt necessary and whatever was right to them. Our parents (which survived obviously) were told hundreds of different things – put infants on their tummy, on their side, on their back. Dont let them do this, don't let them do that. Then, our generation…I'm just amazed, honestly. Amazed at the lack of common sense…

Crib bumpers, ok. I kept mine in. 1)It kept the binky IN the crib (LOL). 2)They didn't crash into the crib sides in the middle of the night causing them to wake up so sad and hurt.

I understand the SIDS scare. But, that is what the nurses/peds do. They SCARE you. I love and respect our peds so much, but I was terrified with my first. Then, after looking MUCH deeper into it. Um, yeah. If they are lifting their heads, they KNOW how to move it so they can breath. That is a natural instinct. Obviously if they are not showing this development, then do what you need to do to get this taken care of whether it is major hours put in at the doc or using a breathable bumper.

That's my two cents… Use common sense. If you think your LO is fine and developing on track, then do what YOU feel is right. YOU are the parent. YOU are the one who knows what is best for YOUR child.
