Just like how freshly baked cookies taste the best when they’re straight out of the oven, babies also need to be in the right sleeping conditions to stay safe and sound. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has released updated guidelines on infant sleep to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). These guidelines emphasize the importance of placing infants on their back, alone, on a flat surface for sleep. It is advised not to share the bed with your little bundle of joy to reduce the risk of accidental suffocation or strangulation. Furthermore, breastfeeding is highly encouraged as it offers numerous health benefits for both the baby and the mother. Through these guidelines, parents can create a cozy and secure sleeping environment for their precious ones while promoting their overall well-being. To dive deeper into these recommendations and learn more about SIDS prevention, explore the research shared by AAP.
