In this fact-filled guide written for prospective parents and the parents and caregivers of very young children, two experts on pediatric and family medicine present and explain the most recent research on sudden infant death syndrome and discuss which infants are at greatest risk for this and other sleep-related deaths. This practical book also provides information on ways to minimize risk while dispelling common myths about “crib death.”
