Soft bedding continues to claim infant lives despite warnings, study finds
CNN
Babies continue to die from sudden infant death syndrome, despite educational programs to encourage parents to use safe sleep practices. Now a new study finds many of the deaths are due to soft bedding added by caregivers.
"I was a single mom of two kids, so I took sleep any way I could get it," said Saucedo, who was 27 at the time. "I was like, 'These people say it's safe if I take these precautions,' so that's what I did -- only one pillow, one blanket and only the mom in the bed, with a baby that is exclusively breastfed." Saucedo had successfully co-slept with Ben's older brother, 3-year-old Trae, and thought she was even more cautious with Ben.More Related News
