Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth says doctors are seeing an alarming trend of infant deaths linked to unsafe sleep situations.
“A little bit, I understand. Culturally, there are some customs in how we’re brought up that may contribute to some of this,” Soria-Olmos said. “Being Hispanic, I kind of do know some of it means to live in a situation in a multi-generational home, where that may just be more of a family-to-family custom. If people aren’t aware that it’s unsafe, they may not be doing this on purpose.”
Soria-Olmos said medical experts are trying to figure out what outreach and education could look like, as prevention is key. In a release Wednesday, Cook Children’s reported data on unsafe sleep deaths in 2022-2023 show that the infants were in sleeping positions or circumstances that contributed to their deaths, not to be misidentified as SUID, sudden unexpected infant death.When it comes to sleep risks, experts offer the following tips:
Always place your baby on their back to sleep. Side and stomach sleeping are not safe for infants who can't roll over. Use a firm, flat mattress or sleeping surface with tightly-fitted sheets. The surface shouldn’t be sloped.Clear your baby’s sleep area of blankets, pillows, bumper pads and soft toys.For more information,
