SIDS and Sleepsacks

Recently there have been a number of articles about SIDS. Both the American Academy of Pediatrics and research cited in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (June, 2006) recommend the following:

1. put your baby on his/her back to sleep
2. keep soft objects like pillows, comforters and soft toys out of the crib
3. use a baby sleep sacks instead of blankets
4. give your baby a pacifier at nap and bedtime
