I regret to note that the comment "who manufacture cribs" is incorrect.
The CPSC does not make anything except reports on the safety of products
that are produced or distributed or sold.  They are a government agency.

That doesn't mean I disagree with the post otherwise.  James McKenna has
reviewed the co-sleeping information from CPSC in great detail for what
is reliable and what is not.  I am convinced that the recommendation
(that babies should only sleep in cribs) is quite unreliable.  

Sorry if this has been covered by someone else.
