Infant Warning
We strongly recommend that you do not allow your baby to sleep with a down comforter, pillow or featherbed. We will not knowingly sell a down item that will be used by an infant.
Down comforters and featherbeds are warm. Infants do not regulate their internal body heat like an adult, and may become overheated when sleeping on a featherbed or covered with a down comforter. Infant overheating is one suspected cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is a largly unknown medical disorder that strikes without warning, taking the lives of thousands of apparently healthy infants each year. Here are some sites with more information:
