Parents and researchers are finding new ways to navigate a bombardment of information, and misinformation on infant safe sleep.

While they don't always know the cause of these deaths, experts believe there are specific, modifiable factors that put newborns at risk.With the girls arriving in about eight weeks, Annie Game attended the three-hour grandparent course calledover Zoom. The course, which costs $80 for two people, has enrolment capped at eight people, and often fills up quickly each month.

This was one of the topics Game was interested in learning about in the workshop. For many new parents and grandparents, safe sleep practices are the main way to decrease the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or SIDS. Since switching to Zoom, due to COVID, they have had grandparents from the United States and Australia.

Some advertisers also choose photographs for their product packaging showing babies in sleep positions not recommended as safe. Moon said a walk down the supermarket aisle makes that clear.
