LOS ANGELES -- In Los Angeles County, a baby dies nearly every week from accidental suffocation, the most common form of unintentional death of infants under 1 year old, according to the the Inter-Agency Council on Child Abuse and Neglect. But these deaths can be prevented.
The agency's infant safe sleep campaign provides the latest guidelines.
"It's so important to have this message loud and clear," said Deanne Tilton Durfee, the agency's executive director. "Do not go to sleep until your baby is on its back in an uncluttered crib."
