SAY ‘NO’ TO SARUNG BUAIAN (CRADLE)

I attended a CPR for infant course conducted by paed who is a certified instructor from the American Academy of Paeds and had been grilled on home accident prevention. Even high chair is not recommended. Or the sarung buaian.

I am not over paranoid but I had been in hospitals long enough to see what kind of horrific accidents can happened even under the closest scrutiny.

So, my vote is NO to sarung buaian.

I would not feel safe to put my baby in a sarong craddle, so many instances of cradle accidents we read in the newspapers. Secondly, you need to bring the motorised sarong cradle every where you go, even on holiday since your baby is so used to rocking before he can sleep.

just my 2 sen.

I totally agree with the rest abou the sarong mishaps. I really hate (sorry!) the idea of a sarong though many at times tempted (yes…..contradicting myself too!) But I agree with Lilian that it is very dangerous plus to add my 2 cents worth , your little BB can’t see much from the sarong too! Unless you plan to use it only to make her sleep and later transfer her out to the cot/bed……but again….. old habits die hard.

I used sarong craddle for my first son. It was 5 years back. No doubt it made my life easier coz it doesn’t take so much time to put baby to sleep. But the disadvantage was we have to bring the sarong craddle stuff everywhre we go and it occupied a lot of space in the car bonnet. That time I was not aware how dangerous the sarong craddle coz it was the old folks (my parents & supported by parents in law) idea to use the sarong craddle for the baby. And being a naive mother, just follow ler..

Now I know that sarong craddle should be avoided. My friends told me some of scaries stories about baby fell out of it etc..etc..(Lilian…can’t wait to hear your stories) so my next mission for the second baby… use baby cot. Eventhough I’m not sure how I’m suppose to do that coz it is just so commom in Malay culture (esp my parents and inlaws) are considered ‘tradisional’ type of Malay people.

Aiya… have another 3 months to think before the baby is out…
