“…Spanning the years 2000-2019, over half (7/13) were conducted in the USA, [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] two from New Zealand 25 26 and four from the UK. [27][28][29][30] Six (46%) included fathers 15 16 20 22 25 28 ; eight used thematic analysis 16 17 24-28 30 ; five used grounded theory 18-20 22 23 ; two used content analysis 15 21 ; and one used interpretative phenomenological analysis. 29 Participant numbers ranged from 5 to 136 mainly selected through healthcare settings or communitybased centres.…”

“…Miller et al found examples of this where participants would cite the advice, then give reasons why it did not happen with their baby. 28 Clarke concluded that 'It is too simplistic to assume that knowledge of risks leads to behaviour change' (p66). 26 Mosley et al described a 'chorus' of the back to sleep message, but this was not translated into action.…”

“…16 26-30 Yuma-Guerrero et al found that some participants felt that the advice given to them was 'ridiculous', for example, where mothers felt advice not to overwrap an infant conflicted with an infant's need to keep warm. 15 Miller et al 28 reported confusion as a major theme, with parents citing conflicting advice from health professionals. Mosely et al 16 found evidence of 'tension' between external advisors to parents, in particular, between health professionals and older family members.…”

BackgroundAdvice to families to sleep infants on their backs, avoid smoke exposure, reduce excess bedcovering and avoid specific risks associated with cosleeping has greatly reduced sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI) rates worldwide. The fall in rates has not been equal across all groups, and this advice has been less effective for more socially deprived families. Understanding decision-making processes of families with infants at risk would support the development of more effective interventions.AimTo synthesise the qualitative evidence on parental decision-making for the infant sleep environment among families with children considered to be at increased risk of SUDI.MethodsThis study was one of three related reviews of the literature for the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel’s National Review in England into SUDI in families where the children are considered at risk of harm. A systematic search of eight online databases was carried out in December 2019. Metasynthesis was conducted, with themes extracted from each paper, starting with the earliest publication first.ResultsThe wider review returned 3367 papers, with 16 papers (across 13 studies) specifically referring to parental decision-making. Six overall themes were identified from the synthesis: (1) knowledge as different from action; (2) external advice must be credible; (3) comfort, convenience and disruption to the routine; (4) plausibility and mechanisms of protection; (5) meanings of safety and risk mitigation using alternative strategies; and (6) parents’ own expertise, experience and instincts.ConclusionInterventions that are intended to improve the uptake of safer sleep advice in families with infants at risk of sleep-related SUDI need to be based on credible advice with mechanisms of protection that are understandable, consistent with other sources, widened to all carers of the infant and fit within the complex practice of caring for infants.

“…The sudden death of an otherwise healthy infant under one year of age is known as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The exact causes of SIDS remain unknown [46]. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics states that home monitoring should not be used to protect against SIDS, and should only be used for "specific clinical indications for a predetermined period, using only monitors equipped with an event recorder, and parents that monitor use does not prevent sudden, unexpected death in all circumstances" [6].…”

Baby wearable technologies are becoming increasingly popular, particularly in early infancy. However, little research has been conducted to investigate how baby wearable technologies are adopted and used in parenting. This paper presents a two-week in-depth situated study with six mothers in their homes consisting of contextual entry and exit interviews, video recordings of "out-of-box" experiences, and a diary study. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, participants' use and expectations of the baby wearable technology were examined. Use of the device directly impacted upon parents' knowledge production and anxiety, and influenced the perceived physicality and social factors of parenting. We frame these findings around sociological norms of the vulnerable child and responsible mother, as well as the notion of "lived informatics", where individuals' interaction with the technology influenced the perception, use and impact of the baby wearable on everyday parenting practices and familial relationships.

“…Mothers needed to trust the messenger of the information. If the mother did not trust the health care professional, she was more willing to listen to her mother who shared the experience of placing babies incorrectly on stomachs (Miller, Fraser, & Moy, 2008).…”

Sudden unexplained infant death is responsible for 14% of Indiana's infant mortality. The purpose of this qualitative research study was to describe mothers' experiences when death of an infant occurred suddenly and unexpectedly. Field deputies or social workers interviewed mothers from central Indiana during the child-death team investigations. The Thematic Analysis Program from the Joanna Briggs Institute was used to analyze interview data. Sixteen de-identified interview cases were extracted, and a meta-aggregate method was conducted. The three synthesized themes were Extreme Emotional Shock, We Feel Like We're to Blame, and Working Toward Moving On. Understanding these phenomena from mothers' experience may assist in eliminating risks associated with infant deaths and inform nursing practice and policy.

How does cot death prevention advice influence parents' behaviour?

Abstract: Cot death health promotion advice appears to be inadequate among patients from a deprived socioeconomic background. Some of these issues could be resolved with increased training addressing these matters.
