DALLAS — Cook Children’s Medical Center saw 30 infants die because of unsafe sleeping situations, according to new data released by the Fort Worth children’s center.
Doctors at the pediatric hospital say new and exhausted parents are putting their children at risk by sleeping together in the same bed or using unneeded blankets and cushions in cribs.
Waking up every few hours in the middle of the night to feed their newborn, parents may find it easier to let the baby sleep in their bed with them. It’s a seemingly harmless decision that can lead to a parent’s worst nightmare.
