REDUCE THE RISK OF COT DEATH
New advice about using a soother
when settling your baby to sleep.
Soother specialist MAM UK and FSID
(Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths)
have launched a two-year partnership to
promote safe sleep.
The partnership follows the new FSID
recommended guidelines regarding soothers:
Settling your baby to sleep with a dummy,
even for naps, can reduce the risk of cot
death. If breastfeeding, do not begin to
give a dummy until your baby is one month
old to ensure breastfeeding is well
established. Don't worry if the dummy falls
out while your baby is asleep, and don't
force your baby to take a dummy if he or she
doesn't want it. Never coat the dummy
in anything sweet.
