Kim, a new mother, wants advice on how to lower her baby's risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Advise Kim on what environmental stressors that occur after birth have been associated with an increased risk of a baby dying of SIDS.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. SIDS is associated with environmental factors that interfere with breathing, such as respiratory infections, lack of ventilation, and exposure to cigarette smoke.
2. Having a fever or becoming overheated during sleep are also factors.
3. Placing infants on their backs, rather than on their stomachs, to sleep led to a significant drop in SIDS deaths, perhaps because infants who are placed on their stomachs are less likely to wake up when their breathing is disturbed. But sleep position is not a factor in all SIDS deaths.
