A new study find that parents who get specific instructions from doctors are up to 28 percent more likely to put babies to bed in the safest ways.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome has become much less common in recent decades as doctors have urged parents to put infants to sleep on their backs without blankets or other soft bedding and toys that could pose a suffocation risk. But it remains a leading cause of infant mortality, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics .
The survey questions didn't distinguish routine habits that led to unsafe infant sleep from occasional or accidental unsafe practices. "I suspect that back sleeping is one of the more commonly followed practices because we have been promoting it the longest and the 'back to sleep' campaign has been so successful in saving lives," Goodstein, who wasn't involved in the study, said by email.
