I will start by confessing a certain weakness we Africans have and that is our deep rooted spirituality. Our spirituality matters a whole lot that we now see life solely through that lens. A healthy baby is a sign of goodwill from God but a sick baby or the sudden death of a healthy baby is most often judged either as ill will or worse some evil forces from the dark world sent in our lives by unsuspecting neighbours.

The neighbours might just be innocent. Studies have shown that the safest position for babies to be placed on while sleeping is on their backs, not on their sides or face down but on their backs.

Surprised? Don't be.Babies placed on their stomachs, sides, beside a fluffy pillow or blankets when sleeping are at risk of having their airways blocked and can cause death. In developed countries, the number of unexplained baby deaths have markedly reduced, all thanks to the new sleeping position least associated with deaths.
