According to a 2009 article in Pediatrics, the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, infant mortality rates attributed to accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed increased from 2.8 deaths to 12.5 deaths per 100,000 live births from 1984 to 2004. The reason for this increase is unclear, however with recent recalls of several different cradles, bassinets and co-sleepers, parents are encouraged to be fully “in the know” about all available safe sleeping options for their newborns.
Created by renowned ear, nose and throat pediatric surgeon specialist, Dr. Jose Bensoussan, ubiMED’s patented LifeNest Sleeping System (www.ubimed.com) was specifically designed to ensure the highest level of comfort and safety for your infant while they rest. The LifeNest’s curved mesh hammock cradles the baby, maintaining the recommended baby-on-back sleeping position while allowing unrestricted movements. The elevated breathable hammock permits the free circulation of air via the venting channels to help prevent overheating and enables the baby to breathe freely even if they accidentally turn on their tummy. A second hammock is also built into the tight fitting mattress cover (available in a full line of fashionable colors to compliment any nursery), reinforcing strength and safety and prevents mattress cover entrapment and strangulation risks. Additionally, the mesh hammock of the LifeNest allows liquids and mucus to pass through it, helping to prevent against smothering. The LifeNest fits securely on any standard crib and is easily portable for parents on the go. It is available for purchase online and at select retailers nationwide for $149.99.
