Back to sleep started in 1992 with a big countrywide push in 2003. Do you remember the saying actions speak louder than words? I feel we are doing a huge favor to our parents if we get babies acustom to sleeping on their backs without rolls prior to discharge. The AAP says we should dress infants to stay warm rather that use blankets, meaning t shirt and thick sleeper with socks. If a blanket is needed infants are to be wrapped no higher than their axilla and a top blanket should have it's edges tucked under the mattress edges. The kids do stay warm. We are to position the babies so that their toes touch the bottom of the crib to prevent snuggling down into the blankets. Our preemies are @ a higher risk for SIDS in general. Dont we want the kids to grow up after so much of our hard work went into them living past the first few months?
