To go traditional or modern?

Lydia

So my husband is from India and we are expecting our first little latte ☕👶🏽. His parents are sending us a piece of cloth used as a hammock for babies. My American self is worried about suffocation, falling and a hundred other things that go with that though of putting our child in one to sleep. Should I just ignore my culture and go with it since it's how he was raised and it worked perfectly?
