Some of the biggest impacts for safe infant sleep that I rarely see mentioned:

1. A 2008 article in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent medicine states that a fan in the room decreases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDs) by 72%.
2. Pacifier use at the onset of sleep decreases the risk of SIDS in babies that are formula-fed. Pacifiers should not be introduced until lactation is well-established (usually around 2 weeks) and may not be as beneficial in reducing SIDs risk for breastfed infants.
3. Crib bumpers should NOT be used. There is a federal ban in the United States, but similar products are still being sold and crib bumpers can be found in thrift stores or obtained second-hand.

If you do bedshare, as most parents end up doing at least once, follow the safe sleep seven guidelines below by La Leche League International.

Amazing baby facts: a baby’s brain will more than double in their first year. By the time they are five, their brain will have tripled in size. Positive interactions with caregivers and engaging daily experiences help build and strengthen these crucial pathways.
It’s pretty simple:
1. Talk, read aloud, sing, and play.
2. Respond and be dependable when baby needs you.
3. Encourage exploration and remember to interact with baby.
They may not understand every word, but they understand tone, warmth, and the safety of being able to depend on you.

“It is estimated that most pregnancies – 92 to 94 percent – are considered low-risk. In these situations, low-intervention labor and birth can be a wonderful option.” -Discover Midwives
