OBJECTIVES: Despite major advances in prevention, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) remains an important cause of infant mortality. The aim of our study was to determine actual knowledge and intentions to implement SIDS prevention measures among new mothers and to identify potential knowledge gaps for improved postpartum counselling strategies.
METHODS: Data was collected in a standardized interview from participants of the KUNO-Kids birth cohort study before discharge from maternity ward. The mothers did not receive any specific teaching prior to the interview.
RESULTS: The majority of 2,526 interviewed mothers were able to actively report important recommendations for safe infant sleep, including the exclusive face-up position. However, 154 mothers (9%) intended to position the newborn face-down sometimes or often. The most frequently envisaged sleeping furniture was a bedside sleeper (n=1,144, 47%), but 2.2% of mothers indicated that the intended default sleeping place for the newborn would be the parents' bed (which is discouraged by the recommendations). For 43% of the infants (n=1,079), mothers planned to have loose objects in the bed and 189 mothers (7%) intended to use a loose blanket. 22% of infants (n=554) will live in a household with a smoker. Multivariate regression showed a significant association of "good knowledge" with maternal age and with not being a single parent, whereas the household size was negatively associated.
CONCLUSION: Although the majority of mothers in our birth cohort were aware of many recommendations for safe infant sleep, our data also uncovered weaknesses in SIDS prevention knowledge and point to specific areas with potential for improved counselling.
