I love a company that truly inspires you. They aren’t out to make a profit, but instead to gain a voice. Whenever I work with aden + anais I am reminded of that voice.
In October 2009 they even went as far as to begin sponsoring the CJ Foundation for SIDS. This helps a foundation prevent, educate, and spread awareness faster.
Yesterday’s release of a major study that links sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) with low production of serotonin in the brainstem. This breakthrough study could allow doctors and physicians to concretely identify babies at risk for SIDS, the leading cause of death for infants between 1 and 12 months in the United States.
The CJ Foundation would also like to remind parents and caregivers that overheating is a leading risk factor for SIDS, which increases during the cold winter months due to uneducated parents and caregivers who think that cranking the heating is good for their babies.
aden + anais’ proud sponsorship of the CJ Foundation for SIDS has influenced and inspired aden + anais to design products that answer the question: how do we design a product that keeps babies warm in winter months and yet reduces the risk of overheating? aden + anais has the solution with their new cozy sleeping bag.
The cozy sleeping bag consists of four layers of aden + anais’ signature, breathable, muslin cotton in modern, fun prints.
With the coldest of the winter months now upon us, parents and caregivers are more likely to crank the heating and reach for plush, thick blankets to keep their babies warm. Infants who are overdressed or covered in heavy blankets or many blankets are at higher risk for SIDS. It is very important for babies to be dressed lightly and comfortably to avoid overheating. The CJ Foundation recommends the use of wearable blankets and sleep-sacks in place of blankets to keep infants warm while sleeping.
aden + anais®, creator of the original muslin swaddling blanket and unique muslin cotton sleeping bags, is proudly sponsoring the CJ Foundation for SIDS and their continuing efforts to educate parents about the importance of not over-bundling and over-heating their infants. Over 2,000 babies in the United States still die of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) each year, and overheating is a leading risk factor.
While over-heating is one risk-factor for SIDS, SSGS and aden + anais® seek to educate parents about this and the other risk-reducing, precautionary practices:
- Consider the use of fans to increases ventilation
- Room temperature should be comfortable for a lightly-clothed adult, approximately 61-67 degree Fahrenheit
- Cribs should be totally free of all loose blankets, stuffed animals and crib bumpers
- Lay baby to sleep in an improved crib, on a firm mattress; do not let the baby sleep on soft things, like a couch, pillow, sheepskin, foam pad or waterbed
- No smoking when pregnant or near baby
- If possible, breastfeed baby
- Offer a pacifier at bedtime
- Co-sleeping should be in the same room but not the same bed or other sleep surface as parents
I’ll have a review of one of these shortly. I’ve used other aden + anais baby items in the past.They have all been stylish and quality made and I look forward to sharing them again with you soon. You can purchase the Cozy Sleeping Bags for $39.95 each.
