Saturday Sleep Tip: SIDS

I just read an article stating that ""Infant mortality rates attributable to accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed have quadrupled since 1984," the CDC's Carrie Shapiro-Mendoza and colleagues wrote.

Wow! Parents of infants/newborns I would take a minute and read this article: Infant Suffocation Rates Quadruple.

SIDS prevention tips:

• put your baby to sleep on her back
• avoid soft bedding
• never smoke in her room
• don't share a bed with your baby
• keep a fan running during sleep: portable or ceiling

*And having a carbon-monoxide detector is a good idea.
