New dummy advice for parents

Published: 01 August, 2007

The Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID) has announced its latest advice to parents with regard to dummies or soothers: Settling a baby to sleep with a dummy - even for naps - can reduce the risk of cot death. FSID has joined forces with MAM, the UK's soother specialists, in a two-year partnership to promote this important health message.

MAM are supporting FSID's campaign with a new leaflet that lists FSID's guidelines regarding soothers. FSID will also receive a donation of 10p from each Mini Night Soother and Night Soother MAM sells. All MAM soother packaging has been re-designed to include the new soother guidelines and to publicise FSID's other advice on how to reduce the risk of cot death.
