Something to Sleep On Research
on infant sleep risks, which we go over in depth in Chapter 19, shows again and again that the big risks of shared sleep are a mix of SIDS risks that affect vulnerable babies and breathing hazards that affect all babies: smoking, alcohol or drugs, risky surfaces like sofas, baby on his front (unless he's on an adult's chest), and formula - feeding.

SUDDEN
INFANT death syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden death of an infant, unexpected by history and unexplained by a thorough postmortem examination, including a complete autopsy, death scene investigation, andreview of the medical history.1 The decreased risk of SIDS associated with nonprone sleep positions led to the recommendation in 1992 by the American Academy of Pediatrics that infants be placed to sleep on the side or back.2 In 1994, the national public education campaign «Back to Sleep» was launched, and the supine position is now recommended.3 Sudden infant death syndrome rates in the United States have decreased by about 40 % as prone prevalence has decreased from 70 % in 1992 to 17 % in 19

risks are minimized; and the zeal and imprecise language which is being used by many technicians involved in what is considered «safe

on many different levels, both politically and scientifically (see Gettler and McKenna 2010 available

sleep position after the introduction of the «Back to Sleep» campaign in 1994.4 - 7 More recently, it has been suggested that the decrease in the SIDS rate has leveled off coincident with a plateau in the uptake of the supine sleep position.8 Although caretakers should continue to be encouraged to place infants on their backs to sleep, other potentially modifiable risk factors in the sleep environment should be examined to promote further decline in the rate of

Despite the simplicity and effectiveness of the supine

infants on their backs to

infant last
