Confused by all the crib recalls of the past year? A new crib
safety video released October 22, 2010, by the US Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) may be able to help. Called
"Safe Sleep for Babies," the video is designed to educate new
parents on how to avoid dangerous suffocation and entrapment
risks in a Baby's sleep environment, where to go for important
crib recall information, and how to keep Baby safe and sound in
cribs, bassinets, and play yards. Made in conjunction with the
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), Keeping Babies Safe (KBS),
New York-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, and
narrated by journalist and mom Joan Lunden, the video will be
available to parents while they are at the hospital or visiting
their pediatrician's office. "Nurses will not allow newborn
babies to leave the hospital without parents having a safe car
seat. I also believe that we need to make sure that new parents
provide a safe crib, bassinet, or play yard for their babies to
sleep in," says CPSC Chai
