SIDS Awareness Month

SIDS is unfortunately non preventable, but as parents, there is a lot we can do to reduce the risk factors, including:
Always placing your baby on his back at sleep time
Keep loose items out of the crib
Avoid overheating
Have regular tummy time workouts
This is of course a very short list, but there is some great info stored in the following documents, one of which is from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the other from the CJ Foundation for SIDS:
- AAP Expands Guidelines for Infant Sleep Safety and SIDS Risk Reduction
- 10 Steps to take before Baby Takes His or Hers
