Good evening everyone! I was reading a couple of articles that were written over the last couple days about the use of baby slings for babies under 4 months old. The CPSC has issued a Suffocation Hazard warning stating parents of preemies, twin, low birthweight babies and babies in fragile health should use caution when using slings and should consult with their pediatricians before doing so. This warning comes during an investigation of at least 14 infant death over a 20 year period.
Below are links to a few of these articles if you would like to read them yourself.
