Mississippi and Missouri urge safe sleep practices to reduce SIDS, promoting the ABCs: Alone, Back, Crib.
October is SIDS Awareness Month, with health officials in Mississippi and Missouri urging caregivers to follow safe sleep practices to prevent infant deaths.
Each year, about 2,500 U.S. infants die from SIDS or sleep-related causes.
Experts recommend placing babies on their backs in a bare, firm crib free of pillows, blankets, toys, and soft bedding.
Babies should sleep alone in a separate sleep space, not in adult beds, couches, or chairs.
Avoiding overheating and offering a dry pacifier may reduce risk.
Breastfeeding and avoiding tobacco exposure are also encouraged.
Safe sleep education is being promoted by hospitals and health departments, emphasizing the ABCs—Alone, Back, Crib—to reduce preventable deaths.
