Sudden infant death syndrome (Sids) threat could rise if booklet is stopped
The National Paediatric Mortality Register (NPMR) says it is being “inundated” with calls from health and childcare workers looking for the leaflets which contain guidelines for parents and caregivers on safe sleep practices for babies.
However, it says the HSE stopped printing the leaflets because of cost-saving measures in 2012 and the NPMR depleted its stockpile just over a year ago.
