October is SIDS Awareness Month, dedicated to raising awareness about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. It’s a time to educate parents and caregivers on safe sleep practices that can reduce the risk and help protect our little ones.
Baby sleep bags are designed to provide a safe sleep environment for infants. Unlike traditional blankets and loose bedding, sleep sacks cannot be kicked off, cover the baby’s face, or pose a suffocation risk. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends the use of wearable blankets like baby sleep bags to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related accidents. As they recommend that your baby’s crib has nothing loose in it apart from a tight fitted sheet until they’re over 12 months old, a baby sleep bag has been designed to keep your baby warm when they sleep without the common risks that come with using a loose blanket.
This blog was guest written by Belinda Kirk, a soon to be mom of 2 living in Abu Dhabi. Her quest to find the safest and best sleep bag for her older child led to the realization that she could design and make her own, with the best quality materials and all according to safe sleep recommendations. All this led to the birth of Hushabye, bringing parents the best baby sleep bags and sleepsuits, designed with the UAE climate and air-conditioned living in mind.
