Your baby sleeping with you can be just as dangerous.
Babies can die when sleeping in adult beds. Always put your baby to sleep on his back, in a crib. If you can’t afford a crib, call (414) 286-8620.

So your baby is a knife wielding murder keeping it under the bed until you return? lol

These scare tactics are so extreme it becomes laughable.

That baby looks like it was in a boxing match.

Think it's been roughed up, the image not the baby.

If you can't afford a crib, what happens?

It is a bit much but a simple associative message for parents to remember.

the point is to explain - not to scare especially when you are dealing with first time mothers.

made too scare the hell out of mothers with a lack of confidence and hypochondriac... completely stupid (even if it's a real issue)...
one day, you'll have too put your baby in a protecting bubble for the rest of his life !
honnestly, who hasn't been sleeping with his parents when he was a baby here??? nobody, and nobody died :)

I would agree with the above comments that scaring already petrified mothers is rather cruel and unnecessary.

I only question that there must be a reason why they keep hammering on with this type of ad. Would a stats fact help?

Agree with all the comments. Also, the visual implies that the baby is the source of danger not in danger.

A suffocation metaphor... rather than this super heavy handed thought?

Attractive ad and good work but not so the message. Why the baby has the weapon? isn't him the victim?
