A nurse is providing discharge teaching to the parents of an infant who is at risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Which of the following statements by the parents indicates an understanding of the teaching?
"I will dress my baby in lightweight clothing to sleep.”
"I will lay my baby on her side to sleep for naps.”
"I will have my baby sleep next to me in bed during the night.”
"I will move my baby's stuffed animal to the corner of her crib while she sleeps.”
The Correct Answer is A
Overheating is a risk factor for SIDS, so it’s important to dress the baby in lightweight clothing to sleep.
Choice B is wrong because infants should always be placed on their back to sleep, not on their side.
Choice C is wrong because bed-sharing increases the risk of SIDS.
Choice D is wrong because stuffed animals should not be placed in the crib with the baby as they can increase the risk of suffocation 2.
