Following safe sleep guidelines can help prevent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). SIDS is the death of a baby younger than 1 year with no known cause. Talk about safe sleep with anyone who spends time with your baby. Explain in detail what you expect the person to do.
Follow-up care is a key part of your child's treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if your child is having problems. It's also a good idea to know your child's test results and keep a list of the medicines your child takes.
