While the successful public health campaign to
improve infant sleep environments has long been associated with declines in sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), an analysis of 30 years of data by researchers from Boston Children's Hospital and Dana - Farber Cancer Institute suggests that Back - to - Sleep is one of several trends that explain the reduced rates of SIDS.
While we continue to stress safe
sleep environments, we should also move forward in
improving overall maternal and
infant health and in researching the underlying biology that may well also influence SIDS.»
