You know, speaking of cradles, I saw this movie once... one of the
characters was a "baby expert" and she took issue with the common
style of rocking cradle. She said that you should rock babies from
front to back rather than side to side. Makes sense to me and I always
figured maybe one day I would design such a cradle.

Just thinking out loud...
