SIDS: Back to SleepLosing a baby to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome(SIDS) is a tragedy that grieves parents, familymembers, friends, and others who care for thechild. The good news is that all of those whoprovide care for an infant can help reduce therisk of SIDS.
What is SIDS?Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is the cause givenwhen an infant dies suddenly and no other causecan be found. SIDS is also known as crib death.
Fortunately, SIDS is rare. In 2011, about one outof 2,300 infants born in the United States died ofSIDS before their rst birthdays. Approximately20% of SIDS deaths occur in child care settings.
What can we do to lower the risk? Obtain early, regular prenatal care. Good
prenatal care reduces such risk factors as thebaby being born early or having a low birthweight.
Always put babies to sleep on their backs,not their stomachs. An exception should bemade if a doctor recommends other posi-tions because of a babys medical condition.Research shows that babies who sleep ontheir backs show a decrease in the risk ofSIDS and a decrease in the number of fevers,stuffy noses, and ear infections. No increase
in choking was found among babies whosleep on their backs.
Avoid exposing a baby to smoke. Do notsmoke during pregnancy, and do not smokearound a baby, even outside.

Curriculum Corner:
Outdoor PlayOn a warm, sunny
day we took paint
brushes and water
outside during our
outdoor time. Each
child was given a
paint brush which
they dipped in
water so they could
paint on the side-
walk. This activity
allowed the
children to
increase theirfine-motor-
skills by hold-
ing the paint
brush while
making small
brush strokes.
The children
enhanced
their budding
friendships
through work-
ing alongside one another and sharing the uten-
sils and sidewalk space. There are many inexpen -sive and entertaining activities to do with your
child outdoors. This month, enjoy the fall weather
by taking a nature walk, visiting a pumpkin farm
or having a picnic lunch in the park.
PhysicalDevelopment
Ange l is seven
months old and is
experiencing tummy
time to help with his
physical develop-
ment. Tummy time is
an important part ofgross-motor development for infants. It allows in-
fants to strengthen their neck muscles to prepare
them for crawling. Tummy time also helps infants
to get ready to push up, roll over and sit up. It is
recommended
that tummy
time is given to
your baby 30
minutes a day.
Tummy time
should always
be closely
supervised.
THANK YOU!A spe cial than ks to our nurse , Lanore Podols ke,
