Soon to Be First Time Mom Worried About Sids Posted: 11-30-05 17:54pm


Im hoping to be mom soon but im really concerned and worried about sids in infants , ive been reading a lot on it. Im wondering if anyone have tips on how a baby can be more safe from sids thanks, like sleeping on back instead?

Alot of people dont even worry about sids and put there children on their stomachs even though these is a chance of sids. I think that laying babies on their stomach doesnt really happen in many families any more. When I had my son, I always laid him on his back. He would end up rolling on-to his side. I think so you dont have to be worried like mothers always are, just put the baby on its back and go from there. Good luck

When my daughter was born-for the first several months- I either put her to sleep on her back or on her side (in one of those "wedge"looking things for babies). Also, books say that smoking affects sids also. I don't smoke but it makes sense that it would affect infants breathing. I also checked on her several times in the middle of the night, I barely got any sleep as it was. Hope I helped.
