This simple guide provides important information that parents and caregivers need to know about keeping babies safe when they sleep. Infant safe sleeping recommendations, like many other child safety recommendations, have changed dramatically in recent years, and it’s important that parents stay on top of the latest advice.
This book explores the risk factors for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), and actions you can take to lower your baby’s risk as much as possible. It also explains how to create a safe sleeping environment for your baby. Because it is now recommended that babies sleep on their backs, many more babies are developing flattened heads than in previous generations. Positional plagiocephaly and brachycephaly, two forms of baby flat head syndrome, have become much more common today. Parents need to be aware of how to keep their children safe, but also how to avoid problems such as developmental delays and head flattening which can be a consequence of sleeping on the back.
