Sudden Death Syndrome deaths have decreased in the last few years. There is not any way to know or predict if a baby is at risk for SIDS. By being deligient and keeping your environment safe for your baby will help to prevent SIDS.

You should put your baby on their back to sleep for the first year of their life. You can use baby pillow wedges to prevent them from rolling over. If you do let them sleep on their side be sure and put their little arm forward to prevent them from rolling on over on their stomach.

Check your baby’s bedding and make sure that it is not loose or too fluffy. Do not allow their face to be obstructed. Be sure you don’t wrap them up too tightly to get overheated. It is not a good idea to smoke around your baby or to let anyone else smoke around your baby. You will want to get a firm mattress and a safety approved crib. Use a baby movement monitor that fits under your baby’s mattress to monitor your baby’s breathing. This is a great tool to use for premature babies. This monitor will sound an alarm alerting you to any possible danger if your baby stops breathing.

There are some indications when you would want to use a baby movement monitor. If your baby has had life threatening issues and have turned blue or needed to be resuscitated. Another reason to use a monitor would be if they had an older sibling who died of SIDS. And of course another reason would be if they were premature.

You may want to consider using a baby movement monitor especially if any of the above reasons have occured. This is an additional method to use to monitor their breathing while they are asleep. To insure that their lungs are fully developed keep all their doctor appointments and make sure they have all their immunizations. Creating a safe environment for your baby is the best way you can keep them safe.

Using merino fabric with baby sleep sacks is one fool proof way to help your baby sleep safely through the night. It reduces the risk of SIDS, while being practical and easy to use, even when you’re exhausted.

Merino baby sleep sacks replace blankets and top sheets, which helps reduce the risk of SIDS. When you’re baby moves around their sheets and blankets can shift and cover their face, constricting their breathing. Research published in the medical journal Pediatrics revealed that 25% of SIDS babies were found with their heads covered. With its specially contoured bodice, merino baby sleep sacks allow your baby to be free to twist and move with the fabric staying clear of their face.

Worrying about whether you have enough blankets in the crib to keep your baby warm or too many which could cause overheating is unnecessary with a merino fabric lined baby sleep sack. Did you know that it could take up to a year for a baby to be able to regulate their body temperature? This means that any slight change in temperature can cause them to wake up too cold or hot during the night and it also increases the risk of SIDS. Merino is a remarkable fabric. It has a natural ability to help regulate a baby’s body temperature. If the temperature falls, the merino sleep sack captures and circulates air to insulate your baby and if the temperature raises it allows excess body heat and moisture to escape. The sleeveless design also helps with the circulation of air to prevent overheating.
