SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME

SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME
In my reading on the subject of SIDS, I found that SIDS deaths are not related to any kind of diseases or there is no kind of warning signs to prevent this from happening to infants in the United States or in other countries. I was so amazed how the researchers said to lay a baby on their backs instead of their stomachs. When I was having children laying a baby on their stomachs were the appropriate way. I have learned that in order to prevent SIDS, you should not smoke during pregnancy or around the baby, limited caffeine intake, don’t put blankets on babies. Do not sleep with baby in the same bed as others. Put babies to bed with a pacifier. You should breast feed babies instead of bottle feeding them. Researchers say boys are more likely to die from SIDS than girls. I found out that babies in Japan and the Netherlands have the lowest SIDS cases. Statistics show that Sudden infant death syndrome have a decrease in the death of infants in the United States and other countries, like Japan have a 30% decline and the Netherlands and Norway have an 82% decline in death rates We can teach new parents-to-be about the facts and statistics about the danger in smoking and drinking alcohol while pregnant to help them know more about SIDS, and to help them to protect their babies.
