boxes? reduce bed sharing learning about safe sleep practices and providing new moms with a cardboard ?baby box? help to reduce the incidence of bed sharing, a study from temple university in philadelphia has found. the study is the first to show that a face-to- face education program, coupled with the distribution of baby boxes?which come with a firm mattress and fitted sheet?help reduce risky sleep habits. the program reduced the rate of bed sharing by 25 percent in the first eight days of life. however, the american academy of pediatrics says there is insufficient data on the role the boxes play in reducing infant mortality. ? medicine.temple.edu prevent hot car deaths no parent thinks it will happen to them, but hot-car deaths happen every year as temperatures rise. in an effort to prevent tragedy, woman?s hospital is offering free reminder hangtags. according to child advocacy group kids and cars, a major contributing factor to hot-car deaths include a change in routine, such as a parent temporarily being responsible for daycare drop-off. it only takes minutes for a child?s core body temperature to reach 105 degrees and begin to shut down. parents are encouraged to leave an always-used or necessary item in the backseat, such as a laptop bag, purse or left shoe. the hangtags can be downloaded from woman?s hospital?s website. ? womans.org baby and toddler j u l y 2 0 1 8 | b r p a r e n t s . c o m 1 7
