Daycare Regulations....Not Always So Smart!!!

[squareone]

SIDS is just the term they use for that when they are young. SIDS literally means "We don't know".

YES!!! People always look at my like I am crazy when I tell them that I don't "believe" in SIDS

I get that...I do.

My son died of SIDS as most already know.

They have no known cause of SIDS.

What they have are hundreds of Research Studies and years of Statistics.

The stats do support the laying of a infant on their back to sleep, on a firm mattress with tight fitting sheets, in a cool well ventilated room, without pillows, bumpers or blankets to prevent the KNOWN risks.

It prevents many KNOWN causes of infant death...positional asphyxia, strangulation, suffocation, rebreathing/relative Hypoxia, inhalation pneumonia/drowning (bottles in bed), heat stroke (from over dressing) and entrapment.

They have to "dumb down" the Stats and KNOWN risks for the masses and label it all under "SIDS Training". SIDS is a buzz word that people respond to.

Would it be within your regulations to weave a sheet or towel through the slats??

Do NOT do this! Nothing in cribs with babies under 1! EVER!!!!!!!!!!
