Are you familiar with SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and it’s root cause?
Although the real root cause was not identified, a few factors have been defined which are increasing risks of SIDS:
- Lack of prenatal care, prematurity and low birth weight.
- Smoking during pregnancy.
- Sleeping in prone position.
- Sleeping on the soft surface with pillows, blankets, etc. These are causing danger for child to get trapped or cover his head what can lead to suffocation.
- Co-sleeping/ surface sharing with the baby.
- Cigarette smoking, drugs, alcohol usage by parents – increase SIDS risk further. Especially when sharing sleeping surface (bed).
- smoking at home, at the same room where kid sleeps – double risks of SIDS.
- Baby overheating – too many layers and blankets.
