    Though you wouldnt be leaving the baby in the capsule for hours on end as youd need to feed and change their nappy? I can see them saying its not good for a long period as they need to be able to stretch out and be a little free as anyone would, but i couldnt see the fact that because its arched that it would effect their back? Like i said their back is curved in the womb, while you hold them and if theyre on a bouncer. I dont think theyd be able to make such a thing if it was going to damage the baby's back? Ah well, theres nothing wrong with Jesse and he slept in his capsule. His was padded so it wasnt too hard.
    Dont sids refer to sleeping flat on their back as appose to on their tummy or side?

    Although I haven't researched this extensively, I thought that awhile ago they decided that capsules weren't as safe, but new evidence has shown that they are perfectly safe for newborns? Perhaps even preferable in terms of car safety? Surely they wouldn't be so prolific if they were a hazard?

    I know plenty of kids who have been put in capsules and they are all fine! Each to their own I suppose! We all have to do what we feel is best
