The United States SIDS fatality statistics present at around 2,500 cases annually. Of that number, an alarmingly elevated 20% (approx. 500) of the cases occurs in daycare environments, licensed and otherwise. Of the approximately 500 cases, half (approx. 250) occur during the first week of placement, and with (incomprehensibly !) approx. 80 of the fatalities occurring on the very first day of placement . One could reasonably expect that licensed daycare facilities would be the locations reflecting the lowest incidence of the syndrome, inasmuch as every possible consideration w.r.t. nutrition, care , hygienge ..... etc.,etc., have been written into the instructions for the trained personnel to follow. Additionally, these infants are placed down in their cots to sleep alone and in the supine position, and following approved and highly emphasized sleeping protocols w.r.t . to bedding , mattresses, etc. Paradoxically, it turns out that the completely opposite situation prevails, and daycares head the list as the most statistically SIDS-hazardous locations in which to board an infant. It is my contention that daycare providers are unwittingly contributing to the situation by keeping infants sleeping more than they should. Watery bottles short on Na+ electrolyte being provided for the infants to suck on, and the subsequent dilutionary effects within an individual infant's abdominal lumen, silences abdominal sensory (afferent) signalling back to the brainstem. This obstructs the arousal process.Depth of sleep continues to increase unrestrictedly, and the accompanying bradycardia (slowing of the heart rate) proceeds unremittingly up to the point of cardiac arrest. There have been at least two known cases in the United States where the infants had been deliberately given a couple of drops of Benelyn for the express purpose of getting them to sleep. A case in Cincinnati involved a care provider putting an infant to sleep using melatonin. However, while those cases involved the use sleep inducing drugs, 99.9% of the cases would probably be based on quite simply unwittingly loading the infants stomach with too much water. Nevertheless, the overall intention is to keep the infants sleeping. BACKGROUND: Despite overall decreases in sudden infant death syndrome deaths and prone sleeping, the proportion of sudden infant death syndrome deaths that occurs in child care settings has remained constant at approximately 20%. In 2003, the American Academy of Pediatrics' Healthy Child Care America program launched its own Back to Sleep campaign to promote the Back to Sleep message for those who care for young children. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the first 2 years of the Healthy Child Care America-Back to Sleep campaign in improving child care regulations by assessing the inclusion of the elements of a safe sleep environment in the individual state regulations for child care centers and family child care homes. METHODS: We examined regulations available in October 2005 for licensed child care centers and family child care homes in the 50 states and the District of Columbia for specific regulations pertaining to (1) sudden infant death syndrome risk-reduction training for child care providers, (2) infant sleep position, (3) crib safety, (4) bedding safety, (5) smoking, and (6) provision of information about sleep positioning policies and arrangements to parents before the infant is enrolled in child care. RESULTS: Since 2003, when the Healthy Child Care America-Back to Sleep campaign began, 60 of the 101 state regulations for either child care centers or FCCHs have been revised. More than half of these regulations written since 2003 mandate a nonprone sleep position and restrictions on soft bedding in the crib, and the change in these regulations since 2003 is statistically significant. However, of the 101 existing state regulations, only 49 require that infants sleep nonprone, 18 mandate sudden infant death syndrome training for child care providers, 81 have >...
