What you'll learn in this expert session
Research shows that safe sleeping practices are more often followed when parents and caregivers receive consistent and evidence-based information and resources from health professionals. The incidence of SUDI (Sudden and Unexpected Death in Infancy) has reduced dramatically following the identification of modifiable risk factors and parents adopting a change in their infant sleeping practices. Join us to understand SUDI; the Triple Risk Factor and the latest to assist parents to understand the risks and how to sleep their infant safely.
Learning Objectives:
- Define SUDI and categorise its causes
- Explain the Triple Risk Theory
- Identify unsafe sleep and settling practices
- Recommend safe sleeping practices to families
