Use of a fan reduces SIDS rates.

Today the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine published a study which showed that using a fan in the babies room while they sleep reduces the incidence of SIDS related deaths by a whooping 72%. Of course parents should still lie infants on their back to sleep to reduce the possibility of SIDS . There have been other studies that show the use of a pacifier also reduces the incidence of SIDS.
