FAN used to lower sudden baby's death

A new study offers another way to make sure babies get enough air while they are sleeping. Using a fan to circulate air seemed to lower the risk of sudden infant death syndrome in a study of nearly 500 babies, researchers reported.

Experiments also recommend a firm mattress, removing toys and pillows from cribs and keeping infants from getting too warm. Such a practice helped slash U.S. SIDS death by more than half a decade to about 2,100 in 2003. SIDS remains the leading cause of death in infants ages 1 month to 1 year.

The babys sleeping environment really matters. By improving room ventilation we can further reduce risk.

Be aware, babies may have brain abnormalities that prevent them from grasping and waking when they do not get enough oxygen.
