CAUTION!
Most products claim they are safe. Many are not! Be wary of products that claim to help you and baby sleep. It is normal for babies to awaken during the night. Slings and cloth carriers should be used with extreme caution to avoid suffocation. All products should be used following the manufactures instructions and labels.
