Dilemmas

Well, I took my son to get his needles today and was discussing all things baby with the health nurse. I was telling her about my son getting stuck in the crib and told her I wanted to get the breathable bumper pads. She said Health Canada doesn't recommend them for under 12 months because of SIDS. She asked if it was better to have my baby break his leg in his crib or die of SIDS. REALLY? These are my choices, injury or death? What happened to a baby being safe in their crib?
