You know, my father has never worn a seatbelt, and he's never been injured in a car wreck. Seatbelts are uncomfortable; no more for me.
My mother smoked when pregnant with my brother, and he's fine. I'm sick of scare tactics. I'm going to take up smoking.
My parents used to ride in cars on their mother's laps, with no car seat, and they were fine. I won't live my life in fear; no car seats for my kids.
In case you can't tell, I'm being highly sarcastic in an attempt to make a point.
Whenever this topic is discussed, there's a lot of "we all lived through it" opinions offered. A lot of people live through a lot of things, but that doesn't mean that we should ignore the advice of professionals (pediatricians) when it comes to the care of our children. Children do not need quilts in their cribs. Doctors advise against it because it can be dangerous. So how could anyone who loves their child, grandchild, etc, still put a quilt in with a baby? I just don't get it.
Thank you to all of you who follow the advice of pediatricians, and who follow your children's wishes when it comes to your grandchildren's care. Quilts are great for tummy time, play mats, and when outside.
