After hearing about the new warnings issued highlighting the dangers of infant sleep positioners, I'm even more relieved that I chose not to use one after having my son. Since 1997, 13 babies under the age of 4 months old have died after being placed in a sleep positioner -- and the cause of death for all of them was unintentional suffocation. Of the 13 infants, nine of them were placed in a side-sleeping position using the foam device, and most of them wound up being found lying face down on their stomachs by caregivers who likely only had the best intentions by using the sleep positioners in the first place. (So sad.)Image may be NSFW.
