S2E4 - From Bumper Pads to Bunk Beds

On this episode, we’re going to talk about what types of products are out there that can keep our kids safe during sleep, and what might be out there that might be more risky than beneficial. Joining us today for the conversation are parents Erica Stone and Scott Beaudin, and our expert, Dr. Daniel Rosenfield, Paediatric Emergency Physician with SickKids and specialist in child injury prevention.

Key takeaways:

Less is good - a safe sleeping environment is free from bumper pads, pillows, plush toys.
There are a lot of products on the market that claim to help with sleep that have not necessarily been scientifically researched – data cited are often marketing-based, not clinical research-based. Most are harmless but some can be dangerous, such as weighted blankets for babies.
Keep your baby’s arms free during sleep and avoid adding unnecessary risks to the home sleep setup such as tall beds or hats.

Guests:
Erica Stone, parent
Scott Beaudin, parent
Dr. Daniel Rosenfield, Paediatric Emergency Physician with SickKids and specialist in child injury prevention
