Sudden Infant Death Case Study

Another important cause if the Sundeen Infant Disease is low birth weight. I know and believe that low weights after a baby is born signals one that something might be wrong with the baby that was born. Weight is really important at this stage of development of a baby, therefore if a baby’s weight is less then there must just be something wrong with that baby. “Premature birth or being part of a multiple birth increases the likelihood that a baby 's brain hasn 't matured completely, so he or she has less control over such automatic processes as breathing and heart rate”. ( mayo clinic)This line enables one to understand that the loss of weight (premature birth) is similar to how since a baby has a loss in weight or is premature means that baby didn’t really have a developed brain which leads to premature brain that can not regulate the body which leads to the Sudden Death Disease. …show more content…

I always ask myself how the sleeping position of the baby affects the baby. How can stomach sleeping cause Sudden Infant Death? What if the baby slept like that as that baby was turning and moving around on the bed? Invitation to the Life Span Development book enables one to understand the the fact that “Stomach- sleeping is a proven, replicated risk, SID still occurs”. (Berger, 2014, pg. 7). This is a really important because I believe one needs to know because I believe that without one knowing the stomach- sleeping can cause Sudden Infant Death. I didn 't really know that if a baby sleeps on their stomach, can lead to a baby 's death. Is good I didn 't know and this is an opportunity that has helped me know more about it to know how to position my future baby in the future when he or she is

    It is unsafe to let a child go to sleep sucking on a bottle and cuddling a teddy. The reason this is not ok to give a bottle before bed time is because it can cause serious tooth decay.

  • Argumentative Essay On Co-Sleeping

    1654 Words  | 7 Pages

    Co-sleeping is a hotly debated topic between mothers and scholars alike. Should children and infants sleep with their parents or should they sleep in their own space? Many people believe that co-sleeping is vastly superior and has numerous benefits, short-term and long-term, while others believe that co-sleeping is dangerous. A large divide between those who are for co-sleeping and those who are against it comes from cultural differences in the Western world and everywhere else.

The neonatal nervous system was considered to be underdeveloped and up until 1985, clinicians did not think it was possible for neonates to experience pain. Advances in neonatal research, however, have demonstrated that newborns do in fact experience pain and controlling that pain can have both short and long term benefits. Neonatal pain or discomfort occurs during patient care, moderate, and severe invasive procedures.

As a mother, you have to make sure that the baby has a quiet sleep for good health by creating a good, clean and quiet environment.
