So, I was talking with a new acquaintance (not sure how else to put it), and she asked if our crib is in the same room as our older DD or in our room. I explained that I have a joint disease that makes carrying my 15 month old up and down stairs difficult, so for the safety of the baby, we have her sleep on the first floor in a pack and play.

She was pretty shocked by this. I reassured her that we have a thicker mattress than what comes standard (I think it's four inches thick) and that we have a baby monitor. But she was really concerned that it was a PnP and not a proper crib.

"You better be careful with that. If for any reason CPS came to your door, they'd freak out."

Does anyone know if that's true? Is it really that big of a deal? If anything, I'd think they'd be safer because there aren't any bars to get limbs caught between.

We don't have a crib because the one we had broke while we were trying to disassemble it for our move. We intended on buying another, but then we realized that the PnP has a lot of advantages, such as it being lightweight, I'm able to move it around the house easily with the wheels, etc. What do you think? Should we be concerned about this?
