A forum Dedicated to SIDS: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (Crib Death).

A Few Suggestions to Help Prevent SIDS:

Do not give your baby honey as it has been found to be a possible source of enough toxin of the botulism bacteria to harm a young infant.

Raw agricultural products also can be a source of botulin bacteria and should be peeled or well cooked before they are given to an infant.

Also, unclean objects like pacifiers should be kept out of an infant’s mouth until they have been washed.

It is also important not to clothe your baby in excessive amounts of baby clothes and not to put them to bed with excessive amounts of baby bedding.

It is also recommended to keep baby quilts out of a baby crib until a baby is one year of age, as they can cause suffocation in younger babies.

Mattresses must fit the baby cribs and cradles properly. Make sure to check that your baby’s crib mattress fits snugly into your baby crib, if there are gaps around the edge of the mattress it has also been proven that the baby’s head can slip down and thus cause suffocation while the baby is sleeping.

If your child is a suspected SIDS victim it is very easy to rent a monitor from your local hospital to monitor their breathing, and studies have shown that the alarms that these monitors set off bring immediate help that insures that infant be brought back to a breathing state.

It seems that just a few preventative methods can reduce the chances of an infant from becoming a statistic in the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome numbers.

Although this cannot be guaranteed, why not try to give your baby its best chance at life!
