Brief Summary:
In the United States Sudden Infant Death Syndrome SIDSis the leading cause of death in infants between the ages of 1 and 12 months The etiology of SIDS is still not clear although a number of risk factors have been identified Sleeping on the stomach has been identified as a major risk for SIDS The rates of SIDS have dropped substantially in countries in which the usual sleep position has changed from the stomach to the side or back Back sleep has been shown to be the most stable and safest position The American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends the back sleeping position for all healthy infants Since the American Academy of Pediatrics began advocating the back sleep position the incidence of SIDS has decreased by more than 40 in this country However the decrease has not been uniform across segments of the population Black infants continue to have a higher rate of SIDS compared with other groups This discrepancy could be related to infant sleep position practices Several studies have shown that infants born to low income minority inner-city families were more likely to be placed on the stomach to sleep Education appears to influence choice of sleep position and may explain at least to some degree the difference in choice of sleep position among certain groups We believe that uniform education of parents will influence the sleep position that parents choose for their baby We will undertake this initial study to document what parents choose to do with their infants regarding sleep position and why they make these choices so that we can improve our educational approach
