Safe Sleeping
Safe Sleeping
CPD hours: 1.0
Safer sleep recommendations are based on infant care practices that are associated with a reduced risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy (SUDI). SUDI includes, but is not limited to, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and fatal sleeping accidents.
There has been significant progress towards preventable deaths of babies and children during pregnancy, infancy and early childhood.
- $18 million invested in research to date
- 80% reduction in sudden infant deaths since 1989 (2)
But there is still more work to do – 3,000 babies and young children died suddenly and unexpectedly in the last year.
