Images show babies sleeping in positions that increase risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). More than one-third of the photos in women’s magazines depicted babies in unsafe sleep positions, according to a study published in the September 2009 issue of the journal Pediatrics.
The study also found that two-thirds of sleep environments depicted in these magazines were also unsafe.

This is the first study to examine an association between better air ventilation in infants’ bedrooms and reduced SIDS risk.

As of May 2, 2009 at 9:47 p.m. (-0500) (ET), the U.S. population
was 306,340,710. Sleep researchers estimate approximately seven percent
of the population suffers from obstructive sleep apnea. Using that
estimate, there are potentially 21,443,850 apneics in the U.S.
