Rebreathing exhaled carbon dioxide trapped near an infant's airway
by bedding has been suggested as a possible mechanism for the occurrence of SIDS in at - risk infants and may occur with the use of soft bedding, covering the head during
sleep, and use of the prone
sleep position.9 - 12 Inadequate ventilation might facilitate pooling of carbon dioxide around a
sleeping infant's mouth and nose and might
increase the likelihood of rebreathing.13, 14
Increased movement of air in the room of a
sleeping infant may potentially decrease the accumulation of carbon dioxide around the infant's nose and mouth and reduce the risk of rebreathing.10 A recent study15 showing a significantly reduced risk of SIDS associated with pacifier use further supports the importance of rebreathing as a risk factor for SIDS.
Physiologic studies also have shown that healthy infants are able to protect their airways and do not have

In my case my not having to get out of bed, my husband continuing to

increased period of infertility, are not enough to counter a possible
increased risk of SIDS that is unlikely to be backed up
by future studies.

For instance, it has been suggested that the physical restraint associated with swaddling may prevent infants placed supine from rolling to the prone position.299 One study's results suggested a decrease in SIDS rate with swaddling if the infant was supine, 182 but it was notable that there was an
increased risk of SIDS if the infant was swaddled and placed in the prone position.182 Although a recent study found a 31-fold
increase in SIDS risk with swaddling, the analysis was not stratified according to
sleep position.171 Although it may be more likely that parents will initially place a swaddled infant supine, this protective effect may be offset
by the 12-fold
increased risk of SIDS if the infant is either placed or rolls to the prone position when swaddled.182, 300 Moreover, there is no evidence that swaddling reduces bed - sharing or use of unsafe
sleep surfaces, promotes breastfeeding, or reduces maternal cigarette smoking.
The prone or side
sleep position can
increase the risk of rebreathing expired gases, resulting in hypercapnia and hypoxia.54, — , 57 The prone position also
increases the risk of overheating
by decreasing the rate of heat loss and
increasing body temperature compared with infants
sleeping supine.58, 59 Recent evidence suggests that prone
sleeping alters the autonomic control of the infant cardiovascular system during
sleep, particularly at 2 to 3 months of age, 60 and can result in decreased cerebral oxygenation.61 The prone position places infants at high risk of SIDS (odds ratio [OR]: 2.3 — 13.1).62, — , 66 However, recent studies have demonstrated that the SIDS risks associated with side and prone position are similar in magnitude (OR: 2.0 and 2.6, respectively) 63 and that the population - attributable risk reported for side
sleep position is higher than that for prone position.65, 67 Furthermore, the risk of SIDS is exceptionally high for infants who are placed on their side and found on their stomach (OR: 8.7).63 The side
sleep position is inherently unstable, and the probability of an infant rolling to the prone position from the side
sleep position is significantly greater than rolling prone from the back.65, 68 Infants who are unaccustomed to the prone position and are placed prone for
sleep are also at greater risk than those usually placed prone (adjusted OR: 8.7 — 45.4).63, 69,70 Therefore, it is critically important that every caregiver use the supine
sleep position for every
sleep period.
However, such soft bedding can
increase the potential of suffocation and rebreathing.54, 56,57,179, — , 181 Pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, and other soft surfaces are hazardous when placed under the infant62, 147,182, — , 187 or left loose in the infant's
sleep area62, 65,184,185,188, — , 191 and can
increase SIDS risk up to fivefold independent of
sleep position.62, 147 Several reports have also described that in many SIDS cases, the heads of the infants, including some infants who
slept supine, were covered
by loose bedding.65, 186,187,191 It should be noted that the risk of SIDS
increases 21-fold when the infant is placed prone with soft bedding.62 In addition, soft and loose bedding have both been associated with accidental suffocation deaths.149 The CPSC has reported that the majority of
sleep - related infant deaths in its database are attributable to suffocation involving pillows, quilts, and extra bedding.192, 193 The AAP recommends that infants
sleep on a firm surface without any soft or loose bedding.
We also discuss how the same underlying cultural beliefs that supported the idea that infants
sleep best alone serve presently to permit the acceptance of an inappropriate set of assumptions related to explaining why some babies die unexpectedly while
sleeping in their parents beds.9 These assumptions are that regardless of circumstances, including maternal motivations and / or the absence of all known bedsharing risk factors, even nonsmoking, sober, breastfeeding mothers place their infants at significantly
increased risk for SUID
by bedsharing.
Preterm infants are at
increased risk of SIDS, 12,13 and the association between prone
sleep position and SIDS among low birth weight infants is equal to, or perhaps even stronger than, the association among those born at term.14 Preterm infants and other infants in the NICU should be placed in the supine position for
sleep as soon as the infant is medically stable and significantly before the infant's anticipated discharge,
by 32 weeks» postmenstrual age.15 NICU personnel should endorse safe -
sleeping guidelines with parents of infants from the time of admission to the NICU.
