June 24 (Bloomberg) -- Evenflo Co., Delta Enterprise and five child-furniture makers recalled 2.2 million cribs after regulators documented dozens of infants who became trapped or fell, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

Seven of the eight recalls involve drop-side model cribs, the agency said today in a statement. CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum has said such cribs are a “deadly hazard” after the agency documented 32 deaths since 2000 and recalled millions of the beds.

“This new recall announcement is part of a larger effort by CPSC to clean up the marketplace,” Tenenbaum said in an e- mailed statement. “Many of these recalled cribs have dangerous drop sides.”

White furniture and the older baby?

k9copsgrl aksed: I asked a similar question in Newborn and Baby. I want to get white cribs and furniture, for the nursery that I finally get to make (they are 8 months old, hubby back from war) and I let it slip what I wanted and I keep getting "Oh it will get so dirty, you don't want white..blah blah blah. Well I have waited over a decade, close to 12 years for this opportunity and now that I can I am getting negative feedback. I think if it was so bad they wouldn't even make white. I wanted to ask those with older babies and toddlers now that got white if they are still happy with their choice. Thanx! :)

PS this is one of the ideas I like: http://www.roomzaar.com/rate-my-space/Nu rseries/For-Ruby-With-Love/detail.esi?oi d=6537049

threenorns answered: it's not the colour that counts, it's the surface finish and how diligent you are with the washcloth.

YES, your white furniture will get dirty.

so will your pink furniture, blue furniture, brown furniture, and black furniture.

the thing is, brown won't show the dirt and i'm not too thrilled with the idea of my child chewing on a crib that i didn't realize was dirty because i couldn't see it!

i had white furniture from the time i was 6 till i was 20, and then i handed it down to my son, who had it till he was 8...it was still white as can be when i sold it and upgraded him to BOY furniture

yes, that = 22 years

How would you feel in this situation? (baby shower/furniture related)?

Baby #1 due 07/16/2010 aksed: My mother-in-law wants to buy the crib for our baby. She asked me to pick out ones that I want, but all that I have picked out she doesn't like and doesn't want to get. What I really wanted was a 3 piece nursery set for around $200 that has everything that we need for the nursery (crib, changer, AND dresser). My husband and I are on a tight budget and can't afford to get any extras ourselves. I figured it wasn't asking her to pay much either.

She said she didn't want to do that and wanted me to pick out a nicer crib, so I did. She didn't like it either.

She wants to buy a crib that's dark wood. I want white because it will look so pretty with the bedding I already purchased and my rooms are trimmed in white (white baseboards, white doors, white windows, etc). I just think white would look so pretty and that dark wood would clash with the pink walls we are planning on having and the bedding.

No matter what I suggest, she won't buy! It's starting to frustrate me. At the same time I feel bad for not wanting the dark wood cause she is buying, but in the same regard, if my husband and I were the ones buying, we would go for the $200 set and not have to worry about buying a dresser and changer. Ugh.

How would you feel and have you been in a similar situation?

summer answered: Maybe your husband needs to step up to the plate and speak to his mother in regards of this situation.

He should tell his mom that you both are very thankful that she wants to help you out, but that she is making this a stressful situation cause she does not like anything that you have chosen. And, you both prefer having a white furniture set, so that it compliments your baby's nursery and the baby bedding. If she wants to continue to make this a big situation when it does not have to be, then she needs to either let you pick the set that you want. Or, tell her you both will be buying the set yourselves.

I do not understand why people have to make such big deals in the shorter scheme of things. I mean what is important here is that your baby has a beautiful crib in which to sleep in. Your mother in law needs to stop being so controlling. If she wanted to pick out the crib she should have just done so and surprised the both of you. I think it is sad when others are so controlling that way--like I will do this for you, if you get what I want. Same with those family members and girls' buying their wedding dresses of their dreams. So many times the mothers/family members want one thing and the bride something totally opposite.

Just have a sit down discussion with her and let her know you are appreciative of all that she is doing for you , but that she is confusing you by her behavior. Best of luck!
