SIDS & Kids SA Host FREE Safe Sleeping Seminars in Adelaide – BOOK NOW!

SIDS and Kids SA are hosting a series of valuable information sessions aimed at educating parents, grandparents, carers or anyone taking care of small children on the latest safe sleeping research.  

According to the safe sleeping report released by the SA Government, approximately 10 babies have died in the past year in SA related to sudden unexpected deaths in infancy. All of these were associated to unsafe sleeping environments and were sadly preventable deaths. Considering this is almost one a month in SA alone, it is quite scary and highlights the need for the education!

Approximately 10 babies have died in the past year in SA related to sudden unexpected deaths in infancy. All of these were associated to unsafe sleeping environments and were sadly preventable deaths.

Thankfully, safe sleeping guidelines were introduced in the 1990’s and the incidence of SIDS has reduced by 80%!! This certainly highlights the need to continue this education. If the community is not educated we will see an increase in these deaths once again.

Each information session will be conducted by the SIDS & Kids Education Coordinator, a trained facilitator who’ll not only offer valuable information and insight, but can demonstrate techniques to ensure babies are sleeping safely.

We’d love to see grandparents there too! Let’s face it, often it’s been a good 20 or 30 years since our parents last put babies to sleep and so much has been discovered about safe sleeping practices so it’s better to know now than live with regret.
