The new book by Sharon Heller, "The Vital Touch: How Intimate Contact With
Your Baby Leads to Happier, Healthier Development" has an entire chapter
devoted to the overuse of containers such as plastic infant holders, swings,
cradles, cribs, and walkers. It is titled "Container Crazy." Very
interesting book.
