There are many misconceptions surrounding Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. For SIDS Awareness in October, here are some fast facts & mythbusters to dispel falsehoods about SIDS. Help us protect Kansas kids by learning & sharing. More at @KIDSNetworkKS: kidsks.org/safe-sleep.html #ksleg
SIDS Fast Facts and Mythbusters. SIDS is a sudden and silent medical disorder that can happen to an infant who seems healthy. SIDS is the leading cause of death among babies between 1 month and 1 year of age. Most SIDS deaths happen in babies between 1 month and 4 months in age, and the majority of SIDS deaths happen before a baby reaches 6 months of age. However, SIDS deaths can happen anytime during a baby's first year. DCF logo and KS Kids logo pictured. Myth: Cribs cause crib death or SIDS. Fact: Cribs themselves do not cause SIDS, but features of the environment such as soft surface can increase the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death. Myth: Shots, vaccines, immunizations and medicines cause SIDS. Fact: Recent evidence suggests shots for vaccines may have a protective effect against SIDS. All babies should see their health care providers regularly for well-baby checkups and should get their shots on time as recommended by their health care provider.

BRRR 🥶 It's cold out there! @AmerAcadPeds cautions: Do not let baby get too hot, a #SIDS risk factor.*Keep the room where your baby sleeps at a normal temp.*Dress your baby in no more than 1 extra layer than you would wear.*If you think baby is cold, use a sleepsack #safesleep

Groan💤 Tonight, most of us will spring forward an hour for #DST. Alas, babies don't understand ⏰ & mom or dad's lost hour of sleep! So it’s a good time to remind parents that baby sleeps safest alone (no toys, pillows or blankets), on her back, in a crib. #safesleep #SUID #SIDS
