Softer Isn’t Safer For Sleeping Babies: Study by Freshboy89: 12:15am On Aug 25, 2011 |
Many parents put soft bedding such as pillows and blankets where babies sleep, despite warnings that the cushioning increases the risk of infant death, a U.S. study said. That’s because many are under the impression that a soft sleeping environment means the baby will be more comfortable or protected from injuries, said Rachel Moon, from Children’s National Medical Centre in Washington D.C. “When it comes to babies’ sleep environment, soft is not safe, it’s actually dangerous,” Moon, who is one of the study’s authors added. Researchers know that black babies are at least twice as likely as white, Latino and Asian babies to die of accidental suffocation, strangulation or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), also known as “crib death.” http://www.livenigeriapost.com/2011/08/25/softer-isnt-safer-for-sleeping-babies-study/ |
