  • Title: [Revised guideline 'prevention of cot death'].
    Author: Flinsenberg TW, Ruys JH, Engelberts AC, van Velzen-Mol HW.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 2008 Jun 14; 152(24):1370-5. PubMed ID: 18664214.
    Abstract:
    There are new insights into the pathogenesis of cot death ('sudden infant death syndrome'; SIDS). Based on these new insights, the Dutch Paediatric Association and the Dutch Child and Youth Health Care Physicians have drawn up a new guideline 'Prevention of cot death', which replaces the consensus statement of 1996. The 2 major differences from the old guideline are that co-sleeping of young infants in the same bed with the parents is now actively discouraged under the age of 4 months, and that the supine sleeping position is recommended from birth on. The recommendation that lying on one side can be used during the first 2 weeks of life has now been withdrawn.
