ABSTRACT
This article reviews updated advice and factual material from the Swedish National Board of
Health and Welfare on reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. Issues covered
by the guidance for parents and healthcare professionals include sleeping positions,
smoking, breastfeeding, bed sharing and using pacifiers.
Conclusion: The guidelines conclude that infants under three months of age are safest

sleeping in their own cot and that a pacifier can be used when they are going to sleep.http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/apa.12966/epdf
