New recommendations were announced today to ensure the safe sleep of infants and to prevent sudden infant death syndrome or sids. Health reporter and registered nurse ali gorman has what parents need to know right now. He she joins us at the big board. There has been a lot of progress over the years, the rate of sids has dropped but sadly thousands of babies still die every year so there are some new updates and reminders for parents. They really need to make sure that the baby is safe. Registered nurse karen angelless ilo helped the hospital receive brown safe hospital a National Recognition for their work in educating parents about safe sleep for infants. She says its best to lead by example. Parents learn from what they see not necessarily what we talk to them about so we try to demonstrate it so that they actually see the baby on their backs. Theyre also in a firm crib or bassinet thats clutter free, no blankets pillows stuffed animals or bumpers. It really should just be a fitted sheet with the baby on their back. Neonatologist dr. Sin thee he ya demboski says theyve already implemented new recommendations including skin to skin contact between mom and baby as soon as possible after birth for at least an hour. Also, babies should sleep in the crib in the parents room for the first six to 12 months wonderful monitors and this and that that you can keep an eye on your baby but nothing is as good as yourself and your instinct. Keeping up with all recommended vaccines also helps prevent sids and no smoking. No smoking anywhere in the house especially the bedroom but even smoking in the car. Anywhere around the baby even clothes with smoke on it, all of that can increase the risk for sids and should be avoided. And karen told me that the biggest mistake that parents make is thinking it wont happen to them. Then theyre either sleeping with the baby in the same bed or putting blankets in the crib. We have more information about all the safe sleep recommendations on 6abc. Com health check. Rick and monica, back to you. Ali, thank you.
