I am a dreamer.

#backtosleep In answer to many parents concerns that their baby might choke if they spit up I like to show them these images ⬆️ and cite the following from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (USA) “Healthy babies naturally swallow or cough up fluids—it's a reflex all people have. Babies may actually clear such fluids better when sleeping on their backs because of the location of the opening to the lungs in relation to the opening to the stomach. There has been no increase in choking or similar problems for babies who sleep on their backs. When the baby is in the back sleep position, the trachea (tube to the lungs) lies on top of the esophagus (tube to the stomach). Anything regurgitated or refluxed from the stomach through the esophagus has to work against gravity to enter the trachea and cause choking. When the baby is sleeping on its stomach, such fluids will exit the esophagus and pool at the opening for the trachea, making choking much more likely. Cases of fatal choking are very rare except when related to a medical condition. The number of fatal choking deaths has not increased since back sleeping recommendations began. In most of the few reported cases of fatal choking, an infant was sleeping on his or her stomach.” https://safetosleep.nichd.nih.gov/safesleepbasics/faq#q2 SO PLEASE DONT WORRY - PUT YOUR BABY TO SLEEP ON THEIR BACK. IT IS THE ONLY SAFE WAY I know that in some instances babies are placed on their front in hospital settings, but please remember this is constant visual and digital monitoring. At home this is simply not possible. Please always put your baby on their back to sleep. If you’re struggling with a baby with reflux, or worried about sleep schedules, or when you’ll ever get a good nights sleep again 😉, come and meet Louise Duncan of @petite_dreamers at the Pregnant & Popped Pop Up Baby Fair 29/30 April RIVER VALLEY, 9 Mohamed Sultan Road, 02-01, Host 🔗 in bio to REGISTER FOR THE BABY FAIR ❤️ Subscribe on YouTube 📖 Read more on the blog about safe sleep (at Singapore / Singapura / 新加坡 / சிங்கப்பூர்) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb_yqiOPM7j/?utm_medium=tumblr
