Infant Safe Sleeping Position
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development studied that some sleep conditions correlate to a higher risk of sudden unexpected infant deaths.
Paula Plympton, Neonatal Nurse Practitioner with Baptist Health South Florida, explains in 1994 the American Academy of Pediatrics launched this back to sleep campaign, which drastically decreased the SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) numbers by 50%.
"The safest way to put your baby back to sleep is on his back, at all sleep times, nap time, at night all times always on the back," she says.
