KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!

                                           
  SIDS is the leading cause of death among infants 1 month to 1 year old, and claims the lives of about 2,500 each year in the United States. It remains unpredictable despite years of research. the risk of SIDS can be greatly reduced. First and foremost, infants younger than 1 year old should be placed on their backs to sleep never ever face-down on their stomachs. Even if a person does not agree with the number of deaths from SIDS the reality is that there are parents that still put there children on there backs and lay them face down on there stomachs its sad that some of these deaths could have been avoided with proper knowledge.
PRECIOUS ANGEL



10 Steps to Help Prevent SIDS
1.Put a Sleeping Baby on His Back
 2.Firm Bed, No Soft Toys or Bedding
 3.Don't Smoke Around Your Baby
 4.Keep Your Sleeping Baby Close, but Not in Your Bed
 5.Breastfeed as Long as You Can
 6.Immunize Your Baby
 7.Consider Using a Pacifier to Put Baby to Sleep
 8.Keep Your Baby From Overheating
 9.Steer Clear of Products That Claim to Reduce the Risk of SIDS
10.Don't Give Honey to an Infant Under 1 Year Old

*Knowing these steps could impact the future of so many lives of our future angels.* 








In first world countries such as the 
United States, Canada, England, Germany, Austrian, New 
Zealand, and Japan the infants received a sophisticated 
level of investigation and a postmortem examination 
conducting by a forensic pathologist that are highly trained 
and understand the SIDS criteria. Therefore, the results are 
reliable and statically accurate. In the developed countries, 
the vast majority of infants labeled as SIDS have undergone 
a death scene investigation, a completed postmortem 
examination including toxicology and genetic screening, 
and a review of the PMH of the mother and infant.

MY HEART GOES OUT TO EACH AND EVERY PERSON THAT LOST BABY TO SIDS THIS PARTICULAR DEATH IS EXTREMELY HARD TO HANDLE.

    I have always loved the saying " Knowledge is power" I love the way you have presented the information about...SIDS. Have you ever thought about making up a informational card that could be handed out at something like a Parenting class. Great job!!!! Thanks for the information.
