14. Six misconceptions about safe sleep


Listen Later

October is Safe Sleep month and SIDS Awareness month so we thought it would be helpful to go over the 6 common misconceptions we hear about safe sleep. We also talk about the difference between SIDS (also known as SUID) and ASSB. 

6 Misconceptions:

1. If I don't room share, my baby is at a higher risk.

2. I have to buy a super expensive mattress for better breathability.
3. Bed sharing is safe as long as I follow the Safe Sleep 7.
4. It's okay to put my baby in XYZ to sleep as long as it's supervised.
5. Mesh bumpers are safe to use because they are breathable.
6. Anything and everything marketed for sleep is safe to use for sleeping.
