7 STEPS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SIDS

Save Lives With the Most Up-to-Date SIDS Guidelines

SIDS, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, is the leading cause of death for infants under one year of age. Based on the latest recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics, 7 Steps to Reduce the Risk of SIDS shows how to dramatically lower an infant's risk using simple, important safety steps. Although SIDS is a frightening subject, this program's positive and compassionate tone will help ease parents' anxieties by showing them how to give their baby a healthy and happy first year.

VIEWERS WILL LEARN ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF:
  • Back sleeping
  • Pacifiers at bedtime
  • Smoke-free environments
  • Safe bedding
  • How to avoid overheating
  • Educating secondary caregivers
  • Room sharing

    ARM FAMILIES WITH KNOWLEDGE
    Pediatricians are concerned that parents may have a false sense of security due to the decrease in SIDS-related deaths over the past decade. This is an important time to remind communities about SIDS, and educate them about the best ways to keep infants safe and sound.

    7 STEPS WILL ALSO PROVIDE:
  • How to prevent flat spots on infants' heads
  • The benefits of breastfeeding
  • Graphics and animation to illustrate explanations
  • Safety measures with siblings and pets
