Tips on Preventing SIDS
Saturday, May 15th, 2010Sudden Infant Death Syndrom (SIDS) is the sudden death during sleep of an apparently healthy child, under the age of one. A diagnosis of SIDS can only be applied after adequate post mortem investigations reveal no other causes. SIDS could be said to be a sudden death during sleep for no apparent reason. It is impossible to predict if a child will succumb to SIDS. Medical research has failed to pinpoint a single exact cause but it has indicated various “risk factors” Knowing where the risk are can help you to eliminate them and thereby reduce the risk of SIDS by up to 75%. Use these guidelines to help provide a safe sleep environment for your baby. *Put your baby to sleep on his back. The back to sleep campaign is thought to have reduced Sudden Infant deaths by between 50 – 75%. This is fairly new advice. Older mums (like me!) were probably told to put babies to sleep on their stomachs. However, medical opinion is unanimous. Putting baby to sleep on his/her back is the single most important thing you can do to prevent SIDS. *Use a firm Mattress with a fitted sheet. Do not put baby to sleep (even for a nap) on soft surfaces such as water beds, sofa cushions, sheepskins or sleeping bags. *Remove all soft things from the crib/sleep areaTake away fluffy blanket, pillows, soft toys, duvets etc*Keep baby’s face uncovered. Make sure that baby’s face stays uncovered and that blankets cannot shuffle up during the night. It is better to use sleep clothing rather than blankets. If you do use blanket make sure that you place baby at the foot of the crib (with his feet to the bottom) and the blanket firmly tucked under the mattress and no higher than baby’s chest. Do not smokeDo not smoke during pregnancy and do not allow others to smoke round your baby. *Sleep near to your baby. It is suggested that you should keep baby in the parent’s bedroom until 6 months old. It is NOT intended that you share a bed with your infant. It is hard to follow the SIDS prevention rules in an adult bed. The mattress is usually too soft and the pillows and fluffy bedding provide addition risks. *If you use a pacifier for sleep or nap times do not reinsert it once baby is asleep*Do not allow your baby to overheatThe room should be at a temperature that is comfortable for an adult. Do not use too many clothes or blankets. *Make sure everyone knows these prevention tips. Some of this advise is new (especially back to sleep) and older carers may not know. It is important that everyone who looks after you baby is aware of the steps to keep your baby safe.

Sunday, March 28th, 2010
Baby Sleeps Safe – Since 1992, the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that infants be placed on their backs when sleeping.

Preventing Crib Deaths
Friday, March 26th, 2010Each year, the United States alone, over 8,000 to 10,000 children die – not because of accidents or infectious diseases ¬ tious, it is not enough to wake up from sleep. ”This condition is called sudden death syndrome in infants ¬ drome (SIDS) and is the most common cause of death in childhood. SIDS usually occurs in boys during the third or fourth month of life. Its cause remains a mystery. Generally, a seemingly healthy infant – usually between the ages of two and four months – is put to bed one night and found dead the next morning. Even if an autopsy is performed, the precise cause often remains a mystery and may leave parents trying to cope with guilt, wondering what they could do to prevent the tragic death of their baby, “said Dr. David E. Larson, editor of the “Mayo Clinic Family Health Book.” Parents should not blame themselves for SIDS, because it is not caused by anything they can prevent. Contrary to popular belief, crib death is not the result of stifling ¬ ment in bedding, choking on food, vomit or bottle-feeding. Is not a slight cold make your child susceptible to SIDS ¬ ible. Instead, an autopsy revealed May ¬ Un Certain anomalies detected. ”While finding a single cause of SIDS have not been fruitful, the researchers found several physiologic abnormalities that appear more com ¬ common in many children with this syndrome. Among them, abnormalities of central nervous system are abnor ¬ evil heart rate, muscle tone abnormalities, a defect in the autonomic nervous system, and abnormal pauses in breathing (apnea) during sleep. An autopsy is often very useful to determine if a specific cause of the death occurs, “said Larson. Other factors may play a role in SIDS prema ¬ ture birth, smoking or consumption of cocaine or heroin by the mother during pregnancy, and weather. More crib deaths occur in the cold days in summer. The condition is also more common among blacks and American Indians. Studies suggest that the risk of crib death is higher among babies who sleep stomach down on mats made of natural fibers, especially if they are packed tightly and stay in over ¬ heated rooms. However, all children who die of SIDS fit into the category above. Many of those outside the group at high risk of dying from SIDS, all the same, suggesting that other factors or a combination of factors may be involved. ”Babies who sleep on their stomachs are much more likely to die of SIDS than are babies who sleep on their backs. Most at risk are babies who are accustomed to sleeping on his back and shifted to stomach sleeping. At one time, doctors recommended stomach sleeping because babies rest more deeply in this position. But he knows now that sleep stomach greatly increases the risk of a baby, “according to the Mayo Clinic. ”Researchers also continue to study the link between SIDS and long QT syndrome, a subtle electrical disturbance in the heart leading to stroke, heart rate very quickly. A 2007 study revealed that almost one in 10 babies died of SIDS had a genetic defect in one of the genes responsible for long QT syndrome. If you have a history of SIDS in your family, your doctor will ask you to verify the presence of long QT syndrome in your infant. This can usually be made with an electrocardiogram (ECG) and confirmed, if necessary, with genetic studies, “added the Mayo Clinic. No matter how you look, the death of a child is always a tragic experience and one that is not easily forgotten. To reduce the risk of SIDS, pregnant women should avoid smoking and using drugs like heroin or cocaine.

Preventing Tragedies: Moving Air, From a Fan, is All You Need to Prevent Sids?
Friday, March 26th, 2010Reduced risk of 94% – Breakdown dioxideSIDS can disperse carbon is the main cause of deaths in 2500 infants aged 1 month to 1 year per year, and the third leading cause of overall infant mortality in the United States, and deaths tend to peak during the winter months. MSN is not a disease or illness, it is frightening because it can strike without warning, usually in a baby seems healthy. Although many studies have been conducted, but no one could say with certainty what causes SIDS. Based on studies, the American Academy of Pediatrics has some recommendations for reducing the risk for SIDS, which include avoiding smoking during pregnancy and breastfeeding, avoiding the use of soft bedding and putting the baby to sleep on their backs, instead of sleeping on his stomach. One theory says SIDS occurs because of the accumulation of carbon dioxide when infants with Re lack of sleep-wake responses to breathe exhaled air trapped in soft bedding or proximity to other family members slept. These babies may have brain abnormalities that prevent them from gasping and waking when they do not receive enough oxygen. It’s cheap, it’s easy, it does not harm the baby while you use a bedroom fan, your baby, aos risk of SIDS decreases considerably, according to a new study published in the October 6 issue of the Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine. Could it be this simple? Movement of air, a fan is all you need to prevent SIDS? A recent study by Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in Oakland, California, published in October’s Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, use the fan can be another way to prevent SIDS. The result indicates the use of the ventilator was connected to a decrease of 94 percent in the risk of SIDS for infants who sleep in rooms that exceeded 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius above) and a decrease of 84 % for infants who slept in rooms with windows closed. The findings were based on a survey of 185 mothers whose babies died from SIDS and mothers of 300 randomly selected children. A fan in the room to improve air circulation and can help reduce the risk of sudden death syndrome in infants because they prevent the, Aure-breathing, the breath. As the baby breathes exhaled air, the oxygen level decreases in the body and accumulates carbon dioxide that could contribute to SIDS. Sleeping in a room with a window open, was found to reduce the risk of SIDS by 36%, while sleeping with a fan in the room was associated with a 72% reduction in risk. The risk reduction with fan use was even greater in babies who were lying on their stomachs or had other sleep-related risk factors for SIDS. Parents fear their child will be cooled by a fan should know that fans do not cool the air, they simply move air around. However, parents should make sure to take normal safety precautions, keeping cords out of the way and making sure that the fan may be of AOT reversed by a young child or an animal. The principal author of the study, De-Kun Li, MD, PhD. said that although the use of ventilators and sleep in a room with a window open, was also found to reduce the risk of over 70%, however the use of fans should not replace other sleeping strategies likely reduce SIDS: Avoid soft bedding: pillow, waterbed, sheepskin or other soft surface in cribs Place your baby on a firm mattress for sleeping. To prevent, Aure-breathing, AU, do not put blankets, comforters, stuffed toys, or pillows near the baby. Although babies can be introduced into the parental bed for nursing or comforting, they should not share the bed when parents are sleeping. Pacifiers also seem to protect babies, the researchers said, perhaps because the handles prevent a child from becoming aos face pressed against the mattress. A research study in 2005 showed that the use of a pacifier cut the risk of SIDS by 90%. Sleeping in is every indication that overheating in May significantly increase the risk of SIDS. Overheating can result in an overheated room, wrapping or covering a baby with blankets too, especially when baby has a fever or respiratory infection. Keep the room at a temperature that feels comfortable for an adult in a short sleeve shirt. Do not smoke, drink or drugs during pregnancy. Children of mothers who smoked during pregnancy are three times more likely to die of SIDS than those whose mothers were free to smoke, exposure to secondhand smoke doubles the risk of a SIDS baby. Do not expose your baby to secondhand smoke. Receive early and regular prenatal care. Make sure your baby has regular well-baby assessments. Breastfeed, if possible. There is some evidence that breastfeeding may help reduce the incidence of SIDS. The growing public awareness of SIDS and measures to reduce the risk of sudden infant death hopefully leave fewer parents searching for answers in the future to protect their children from the tragedy of SIDS.
