Abstract:
Sudden unexpected infant death is a leading cause of death in infancy. Both safe sleep practices and breastfeeding can help decrease the risk, although the current practice of educating parents about the recommendations has not resulted in universal adherence. Prenatal counseling provides opportunities to discuss recommendations as well as troubleshoot common barriers to breastfeeding and safe infant sleep with goals to gradually change attitudes, address social norms, and prepare new parents. A conversational, motivational approach to discussions about the importance of safe sleep and continued breastfeeding, with explanations as to the reasoning behind these recommendations, can help parents incorporate optimal practices into their lifestyles in a way that is sustainable for adherence.
