Soft mattresses = smothered baby if you're one of those mums who sleeps baby on their sides or whatever.

But used PVC covered mattresses didn't seem to carry the same risk and it speculated that was because they don't absorb body fluids and dirt and can be wiped down. The same study talked about bedsharing and smoking and all those things parents of our generation are have been pretty well informed about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
