Back to Sleep campaign, which urges parents to put their infants to sleep on their backs (supine position) to lower the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS.
- The US National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) at the US National Institutes of Health is supporting the Safe to Sleep campaign, formerly known as the Back to Sleep campaign, which urges parents to put their infants to sleep on their backs (supine position) to lower the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS.
- Since infants are most at danger of SIDS between the ages of 0 and 1, this age range is the campaign's focus.
- The incidence of SIDS has decreased by more than 50% since the 1994 launch of "Safe to Sleep."
- However, incidents of newborn asphyxia while sleeping have increased.
- As a result, the campaign's objective has been expanded to emphasize safe sleep.
