Many parents still incorrectly believe the side sleeping position is best for infants, despite evidence supporting the supine position for reducing sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) risk. Health professionals demonstrated better knowledge, highlighting the need for consistent education.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The supine sleeping position significantly reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
  • Public awareness campaigns are crucial to disseminate this vital information to all caregivers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the knowledge of optimal infant sleeping positions among healthcare professionals and parents of newborns.
  • To identify factors influencing parental knowledge regarding safe infant sleep practices.

Main Methods:

  • A voluntary, anonymous questionnaire was administered in a tertiary maternity hospital.
  • The questionnaire included an item on the recommended sleeping position for neonates.
  • Analysis examined the impact of parental age, occupation, education, and prior children on responses.

Main Results:

  • Parents most frequently favored the side sleeping position (over 46%).
  • Healthcare professionals predominantly recommended the supine position (63.3%).
  • Correct parental responses correlated with higher maternal age, external employment, and advanced education.

Conclusions:

  • Some maternity settings continue to see parental preference for the side sleeping position.
  • Standardizing the supine position as the safest by healthcare professionals in maternity wards is essential for SIDS prevention.
