RIO - The biggest enemy of a baby can be your teddy bear. According to a study published in Pediatrics, the greatest risks at bedtime for a child are the objects that are shared in her crib.
Research has shown that babies 0-3 months are more likely to die from sharing the bed with other elements. As for children older than 4 months, the risk is lower.
The study was done from a database with information compiled between 2004 and 2012 in 24 U.S. states. A total of 8,207 deaths were analyzed.
Among the younger infants, 74% had some object or animal in her crib when they died. For older children, the incidence has decreased to 39%.
