Section 1 : What do we know about safe sleeping?

The Carpenter Study

A large study of 745 SUDI babies and 2411 healthy comparisons found:

62% of deaths were due to:

Turning from side to tummy (12% vs 2%; risk ↑ by 45)

Being placed on the tummy (39% vs 11%; risk ↑ by 13)

Getting a covered head (25% vs 3%; risk ↑ by 12)

NB: Blue numbers relate to 745 and green numbers relate to 2411
