Babies who suck on rubber breasts when sleeping reduce the risk of sudden death

A study by US scientists suggests that the dangers of sudden death when sleeping in a newborn can be greatly reduced if the baby holds a nipple when sleeping.

Dr. De-Kun Li and colleagues of the Kaiser Permanente insurance company in California studied 185 cases of sudden death while sleeping in newborns and compared them to the sleep habits of 312 other babies of the same race. Ethnicity and age.

According to research results published in the British Medical Journal, scientists believe that it can reduce up to 90% of sudden death cases of newborns, often die of suffocation, when sleeping face down on the pillow too soft .

If you have a nipple when you sleep, the nipple's air vents will be a way for your baby to breathe, preventing them from choking.

However, this finding was also criticized by many other scientists for the disadvantages of the formation of baby jaws and teeth in the future, if the habit of sucking on a nipple lasts too long.

In Germany, about 350 unexplained deaths of children under 1 year of age each year during sleep, often the most frequent occurrence with babies who are prone to sleep when sleeping, with children whose parents smoke or in preterm neonates.

But since 1990, thanks to special care methods, there has been a significant reduction, about three-quarters of sudden deaths in infants./.
