Since she started at Cook in 2008, Sharon Evans, trauma injury prevention coordinator, said the past 15 months of sleep-related infant deaths have been at its highest. Demographic data shows that Black boys from 2 months to 6 months old make up the most of unsafe sleep deaths.Candle Johnson, a pediatric nurse at Cook Children’s Renaissance Neighborhood Clinic in south Fort Worth, makes it a point to always discuss safe sleeping environments with her patient families.
“No one can control their body function once they’re sleeping. When you’re in a deep REM sleep and your infant is next to you, you’re not able to say ‘I won’t roll over on them,’” stated Johnson. Taking care of a baby can be stress-inducing, and the ever-changing standard of what it takes to be a “good parent” is exhausting for many. But Cook has shared some life-saving sleep recommendations for babies that parents need to know.
