Bradford’s Child Death Overview Panel (CDOP) is warning parents of babies not to share their beds with their babies, especially if parents have been drinking, taking drugs or smoking.
The panel has also suggested to never sleep with their babies on sofas and armchairs. It is believed that following this advice will reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
The advice comes as CDOP continues to see cases of deaths in infants due to SIDS in the district, often where parents have been co-sleeping with their babies with additional risk factors such as drinking alcohol.
