Normally, parents would not want their babies to be left out alone when they sleep. However, due to the rising cases of baby deaths due to sleep, a campaign has been launched to provide awareness and added safety for infants who unknowingly become endangered species due to overlooked parenting tactics.
This is not really to take away anything from parents who want to provide only the best for their child. But there are limits and this includes looking out for the welfare of a child in terms of sleeping soundly.
“Our goal is to really help parents, grandparents, daycare providers and others be aware of the importance to putting babies to sleep in a safe environment, which is typically a bed of their own,” says Sharon Chesna from the Mothers and Babies Perinatal Network.
If a parent or caregiver wants the keep the child close, parents should move the crib near their bed.
