Dear Mattee
I am really getting upset over here. All I did was asking for a nice pattern for a crib quilt that could be somehow repeated in a crib bumper and the curtain.
What sence does it make to scare young mothers (and grandmothers) with this SIDS. Have you been personally affected in some way?
If my estimate of 80 Million births the last 20 years is about right than the number of babies suffocating or strangeling themselfs is some number with four zeros after the semicolon!?
Is there a study whether those 27 dead babies (still I am very sorry about each of them) where laying in a crib that was restored by grandpa and stuffed with a handmade cribset from grandma? Born into a careing family with common sence enough not to let them freeze or grill in their crib.
I know there is this terrible SIDS but all I know is that not one single study came up with exact reasons why this happens.
It is also a fact that fear is a very bad advisor specially in raising children. I will, as I always have, trust in my common sence and in my believe that there is also something above us.
So unless you have a good idea for a quiltpattern please dont answer to this topic anymore.
