Syndrome of Sudden Infant Death
Safe sleep habits can help prevent SIDS and reduce the risk of other unattended or unknown infant deaths, such as suffocation and strangulation in bed or sudden unexpected infant death (SUID).
When Should Babies and Kids Go To Sleep?
Getting a good night’s sleep is critical to your child’s development. In addition to solid nutrition, adequate rest allows the brain to grow and facilitates thinking, learning, and behavior formation.
While babies may vary in their sleep patterns and sleep needs, most infants between 4 and 12 months of age should get at least 12 to 16 hours of total daily sleep.
