Back Sleeping Training Period Statistics
Back sleeping training typically involves a period of adjustment, with most individuals able to successfully transition to back sleeping within 2-4 weeks.
In the following post, we will explore a comprehensive analysis of statistics surrounding infant sleeping positions and related implications. From the significant decrease in SIDS cases since the Back to Sleep campaign to the risks associated with improper sleeping positions, these statistics shed light on the vital importance of back sleeping for infants. Join us as we delve into the data-driven insights that underscore the critical role of safe sleeping practices in safeguarding infant health and well-being.
