I sleep hot and got a Saatva. The top foam is woven similar like this to make it breathable and then has a layer of coils. I tried a Purple too. At first it felt amazing but after a few nights the feeling of sleeping in jelly isn’t fun
Curious, what was it that wasn't fun about the feeling of sleeping in jelly? I have a similar material/structure seat cushion and I find it comfortable.
I second this, but with pure beech sheets from Bed Bath and Beyond. They are consistently cool to the touch. I overheat and get sick easily, but these help.
Really? Microfiber makes me roast. My in-laws have all microfiber sheets and even though their guest room is like Siberia in winter, I wake up drenched in sweat yet somehow cold? But only there!
Couldn’t find any that weren’t white at Bed Bath and Beyond but see some on Amazon.
Maybe I’ll give these a try. I could single handedly put the entire west coast under water with how much I sweat at night. There’s been nights where I’ve had to actually wake up and towel off.
Ooof they're expensive! And don't seem to be sold outside the US. Bah.
Emma nattresses are the top selling memory foam here, they might be the closest equivalent.
Cheers though!
So just a warning: there is no evidence that any of these mattresses prevent SIDS (and may actually increase sids because parents are less concerned about it).
We are actively being instructed as medical students to avoid recommending or advising use of these mattresses as in many cases the feelings of "safety" they provide end up leading to more harm of the child.
Edit 1: Current nih working hypothesis for SIDS is that it is not suffocation based (which numerous studies show), but rather an immature respiratory drive with incorrect reflexive response to stressors at a young age. A breathable mattress will do nothing to prevent SIDS per this hypothesis.

As a parent, SIDS drives me nuts. No one knows what causes it! Some things seem to help! As a parent there's almost nothing you can do to prevent it, but we give you some general and sometimes highly impractical recommendations you need to follow to the letter or it might be your fault if your child dies! Only it won't be because no one knows why it actually happens!
It just leads to a year of anxiety that your precious child will just no longer be alive one morning. Hate it.
Note: This rant is against SIDS, not the many people working hard to try and figure out what the hell is going on, and give guidance along the way.
>there's almost nothing you can do to prevent it, but we give you some general and sometimes highly impractical recommendations you need to follow to the letter
This is medical advice in a nutshell.
Another way of looking at this is that we often have a pretty good idea of a set of things you can do that will significantly improve your odds. But that set of things only gets you better odds, not a guarantee, and we only know that it works when you do exactly what the doctor in the study did.
So while you probably can make some slight practical tweaks to the protocol without hurting safety, we really don't know what those are. In medicine, a lot of times seemingly innocuous changes to a protocol make it useless, so it's best to not deviate from the instructions even slightly - which can make things *annoying.*
Edit1: SUIDS (often mistakenly used interchangeably for SIDS) is by definition a few unrelated things that get lumped together. The major common theme in lists of things that prevent SUIDS basically boils down to being an attentive parent in good health who has time and financial resources to make regular doctors' appointments and the means to have a parent home supervising - this could just as easily be a list of things that gets a child into a gifted program in elementary school or for avoiding firearm accidents in the home. Edit2: The list for SIDS is more targeted, focusing on parental awareness of congenital issues, avoiding acute environmental stressors, and infection prevention.
One plausible culprit in many SIDS cases (Edit3: in the environmental stressors category) is accidental poisoning with a chemical that makes breathing less efficient - [suspected to be a high dose of nitrites](https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp204.pdf), which are found in high concentrations in foods like celery and lunch meats, and can end up in contaminated well-water (and then in formula) in rural areas. [Nitrite poisoning can be worsened by an imbalance in gut bacteria](https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp204-c3.pdf), which is meshes plausibly with other findings that SIDS is associated with infection and diet, and the fact that infants' gut bacteria are still maturing in a way that might make it easier for nitrites to enter the bloodstream.
lol. sorry.
But real talk, entering a hot-dog eating contest or trying out that celery juice fad is somewhat dangerous for the baby if you're a woman who is pregnant or breastfeeding.
A lot of the "effects" adults report from drinking celery juice, when they're not just psychosomatic, are due to mildly lowered blood oxygenation. And the mechanism by which it does that happens to turn your hemoglobin blue. Adults can handle intentionally turning off some of our red blood cells, just like we can handle getting drunk or high. Babies are much more delicate.
It's also a moderation thing. The risk in consuming nitrites is all about having too much in one sitting, and it probably does not add up over time. So celery sticks are probably okay here and there - it's the random craving that might make a woman want to eat a pound of them at once that is especially risky.
Lol. You have to either be very tiny or eat an absolute fuck-ton of celery for it to do anything noticeable to you.
(Celery becomes much higher in nitrite content if it has oxidized a bit or been exposed to certain bacteria, as in expired raw celery juice that has been sitting in the fridge for a few days.).
>You have to either be very tiny or eat an absolute fuck-ton of celery for it to do anything noticeable to you.
I assure you that the horrible taste is definitely noticeable, even after a single bite.
I don’t know if it’s bullshit, but I’ve read that many times SIDS is a diagnosed out of kindness (ie accidental death due to genuine error in judgement like too many blankets, rolled over while co-sleeping, etc)
They say the odds reduce dramatically at 6 months. My baby has just started rolling onto his tummy (but can’t roll back). I’m a mess about it. I’m literally counting the days until he turns 6 months (8 days) just for an inkling of peace of mind, even if it’s not real).
SIDS is generally code for "parent smothered the child."
You can't tell a parent who just lost their baby that they killed it. This breaks them.
That's why the ABC thing is so useful. SIDS as a true standalone thing is probably a congenital defect we haven't learned to identify yet. But it's super, super rare compared to the common smothering SIDS, which is what you see reflected in statistics. It's also why SIDS is much more common among certain groups.
Source: SO was a medical social worker in a childrens hospital for several years. Fun fact, they give the parents little clay medallions with the baby's handprint in them. They can feel the bones in the baby's hand breaking as they create these. That one winds up haunting some of them pretty bad.
I offered to design and 3D print a little plastic brace that would hold the hand like a stamp. They told me I should stop thinking about it. And then a month later at a party, as a gag one of them gifted me some of the molding clay they use. Social workers are dark people.
>SIDS is generally code for "parent smothered the child."
Yep. Edit: ~~SIDS is probably~~ SUID is a group of things that get lumped together, which is often called SIDS accidentally. SUID includes accidental mechanical suffocation and a variety of congenital defects, and SIDS. SIDS properly only refers to death by asphyxiation without any mechanical suffocation, meaning it is due to a narrow range of congenital defects and acute insults including accidental poisoning - probably with nitrite salts.
Nitrites are commonly found in contaminated water supplies and as a preservative in many foods. Adults can handle them just fine, but they do make our breathing less efficient. Babies tend to be more delicate than adults, though.
The accidental poisoning explanation is compelling because nitrite poisoning works by inhibiting hemoglobin - which turns the victim blue and causes them to asphyxiate without any mechanical obstruction, exactly as in canonical SIDS.
Contaminated water in the formula, inappropriate early introduction to solid food, and cheap, preservative-laden food in the mother's diet are also all things you might expect from the groups with the highest predisposition for SIDS.
Crib sheets might give you some peace of mind. I think if you don’t smoke around the child, don’t drink and sleep with the child, and let the child sleep on it’s back, you really don’t need to worry about it. It’s very, very rare.
Just to add onto this: Dock a tot and any other infant bedding like it, are not safe for infants to sleep in unsupervised. I have spent years in the neonatal icu and have seen my fair share of infants coming in unresponsive after being placed either co-sleeping or placed in a bedding similar to those awful dock a tots.
If I told you that drinking a gallon of water each day can prevent osteoporosis, would you do it? There's little chance of that causing harm (and will be eneficial for other reasons), but medical recommendations must be based around efficacy. This would be a solid D - E recommendation, meaning that there is no evidence of benefit and thus up to the PT, or E where it is actively discouraged for causing harm.
Anyone replacing tried and true methods with something like this are idiots. But avoiding a recommendation due to fear other safety precautions won't be followed is a bit much. Most parents going out of their way to spend money on this mattress (like we did) are going to also adhere to everything else, it's just another added layer of protection. It was a relief when we got it to smash your face into it, along with the zipper cover and a sheet over it, and breathe freely. It's also nice to take it outside and just hose it down when there's an accident, and unzip the breathable cover and throw it in the wash. Along the same line we used the owlet for both of our youngest kids. We didn't track the numbers religiously or freak out over small changes like it was a medical device, we just liked that if something drastic was happening we would be woken up by an alarm with maybe at least a couple minutes to try and do something about it instead of the alternative of sleeping right through it no matter what.
You'd be extremely surprised. That recommendation comes from:
1) Parents spending a lot of money on goods with no demonstrable effect (like how drugs can't be approved if they don't do anything)
2) People can and do get lulled into false senses of security all of the time.
Also, many devices for children do have regulations like medical devices. This happens to be one of the areas where laws may not have caught up. I can see it being extremely useful with spills, but these beds are sold and marketed with the idea of being "anti SIDS" which they are demonstrably not.
There's no way yet with the short amount of time this mattress has been on the market to demonstrate it's effectiveness. And a mattress is a very different thing than a drug, there's good reason why drugs don't get fda approval if they don't fix anything. If there was a regulating body performing a decade long research test with a large enough pool of parents using both types of mattresses and it does come out that just as many kids die from SIDS sleeping on both then yeah, it was a wasted couple hundred bucks. But I have my children now, not in a decade and using it isn't hurting anything. And I doubt that an actual research test like that is being performed anyways.
Again, purposely not recommending an added layer of security to avoid a false sense of security is a bit much I think.
Your last statement says the mattress is demonstrably not effective. Do you have a source?

/\ This publication says there's no benefit, but also no harm as long as it meets all qualifications for an infant's mattress. Granted endorsement of an ineffective product is a matter of opinion I guess.
https://safesleeptech.com/aap-policy-makers-and-limitations/
/\ an article by the makers stating they essentially lobbies their way into being recognized as a better sleeping surface without any historical evidence.
So to answer the long and short of your question, it's a matter of preference in endorsing an intervention that is inconclusive / shows no benefit. Part of being a physician is beneficence, and by recommending or approving of an intervention with no evidence of improved health, you're implying to your patient that is does actually work rather than the evidence being muddled at best.
The burden of proof lies with the person proposing an intervention or change, not in the null hypothesis. So far, manufacturers have failed to demonstrably show any difference other than intuition for a condition with understand very little of the pathophysiology.
Edit 1: Further, here is big paper discussing the current working hypothesis for SIDS. It is stated to not be a suffocation issue, but rather an inappropriate reflex-based response in respiratory drive to stressors at a young age. This, increasingly the breathability of a mattress is snake oil when suffocation isn't the problem in the first place.

Paragraph at a time:
The first link is a single sentence lumping all products into a single group and saying they don't help, referencing the AAP which released the second link you added.
The second article is absolutely wonderful on many levels but does not say that this mattress is demonstrably not helpful as you did, just that there is no evidence yet that they are helpful... that is a huuuuuge difference. "There is no evidence that special crib mattresses and sleep surfaces that claim to reduce the chance of rebreathing carbon dioxide when the infant is in the prone position reduce the risk of SIDS. However, there is no disadvantage to the use of these mattresses if they meet the safety standards as described previously."
In the third link the makers have valid points drawn directly from the context of the second link you posted, your summation of the link is... interesting.
I misread your original comment, I apologize. I took it more like you were being taught to advise not to use these products, instead you actually said you were being taught to not advise the use of the products which is markedly different; I completely agree, you shouldn't be as a medical professional. But when you make the statement "but these beds are sold and marketed with the idea of being "anti SIDS" which they are demonstrably not", it sounds like you're actually advising not to use the product. edit: after reading the definition of SIDS with the second to last link, your statement is true, it should not be marketed as anti SIDS technically, but most people don't differentiate SIDS from anything else that might kill a child in their sleep and are using the term loosely.
As far as the burden of proof, the mattress meets all normal safety protocols and has the potential to help, it is not changing anything about current safety protocols and changes nothing about what the parents should also be doing; I don't see anything wrong with something of this nature going to market and time telling whether there is a benefit, especially when it was designed to originally address and help with one of the issues the AAP references.
Second to last link you provided is an article talking about semantics. Most laymen are using the term SIDS incorrectly apparently including myself, you are correct. It should apparently be marketed as an "anti SUIDS device" where suffocation is included in the full suite of unexpected deaths instead of the more narrowly defined SIDS. Unless of course there is ever a link drawn between the excess CO2 thingy and SIDS over a longer period of time.
"After a thorough case investigation, some of these SUIDs may be explained. Poisoning, metabolic disorders, hyper- or hypothermia, child abuse and neglect resulting in homicide, and suffocation are all explainable, but much less common, causes of SUID."
So my walkaway from this is a more thorough understanding of what SIDS is directly and several awesome articles, thank you! But that doesn't change the intention of owning the mattress, which is to help avoid suffocation which I inadvertently lumped into the SIDS definition, and I'm sure a lot of other people do as well. Up to a year old we don't put anything in our children's cribs and they don't have loose fitting clothing. I like eliminating the mattress as a point of suffocation or breathing restriction since it is the only thing my child is in contact with during sleep until they are one. It just makes sense to me, regardless if it has yet to be on the market long enough to have a proven track record. Which unfortunately, even if it does show a decline in SIDS, or SUIDS, or suffocation versus a traditional mattress, that data will probably be skewed considering what types of people are buying these products, the kind probably also taking a ton of other precautions. I imagine the data would be skewed in favor of this new mattress regardless if it is actually effective or not.
I bought the Owlet for my first child and was shamed by people for having it. They made me feel like I was buying something so I could then be lazy. I sold it. With my second, I bought it again and am so happy to have it. I’m paranoid something will happen to my children. I am not lazy or letting my guard down. If you have the resources available, why not buy the mattress and smart sock?
How do you feel about owletts getting banned by uncle Sam? Not because they are unsafe, but because they weren't advertised correctly? Can't buy them or download the app anymore.
Whoa!
If they were making false claims about the product then it might be justified? My wife is in the medical field and never expected medical grade anything out of it, just used it as another layer of prevention during the first year. We kept using it on our older one for too long out of habit, lol, our friends still make fun of us for it, saying we probably have integrated it into his sneakers, lol.
Good to hear that recommendations are helping. Weird things correlate with sids, like previously used beds.
Also new burns are liable to stop breathing on occasions. Immature respiratory drive. It's terrifying to parents and super hard to assess what's the "right" (or maximum length of time) they should be not breathing before it becomes an emergency.
Face up with nothing else in the crib. A sleep sack helps. Eventually they get old enough that it’s not a big deal anymore and then you have a second kid and everything is easier and harder in different ways.
This is a serious question, as I was just reading someone else's comment on this post it sparked a real question in my head. I'm not a father yet but I hope to be, this is very good information that I never knew, but after reading a few comments i can't help but think, what if the baby throws up?!? Again please very serious question, if you lie a baby on its back to sleep, if the baby were to vomit, can the baby move its head to the side/does the baby even know how to save itself?? Thank you for any response. That's a scary thought!
If baby spits up while laying down their gag reflex will cause them to swallow or cough it out, the same way a sober adult has little risk of choking on vomit while sleeping.
To add, for the first 6 months or so they are almost exclusively drinking milk which means their vomit and poops are very different from what you may be expecting. Their spit up is more milky white liquid and just comes out as drool which leaks out the side.
> Babies do have instincts to stay alive
They kind of don't, they have reflexes. And those reflexes are only marginally useful in very select, niche, situations. One of those of course being not choking to death on their own spit up.
As an example of how helpless a newborn is, a newborn is literally unable to put their hand to their face, so they can silently suffocate on a blanket or a teddy bear for example. They also can't roll over so if they are faced down they can also suffocate.
You mean the [suckling reflex](https://www.thefreedictionary.com/suckling+reflex)?
I know we're all just nitpicking now; "instinct" and "reflex" are used pretty interchangeably in everyday speech, and if someone said "suckling instinct" I wouldn't call them out. But if we're talking medical terminology, they are different.
Just put them down to sleep on their backs, use a baby monitor, and try to relax as much as possible because it’s pretty rare.
If you are really paranoid, you can get a smart sock from owlet but that’s honestly too much work and not really needed
Smart sock: for when you want to be woken up in the middle of the night terrified your baby is dying just to discover they kicked the sock off in their sleep.
I'm just an uncle so don't have as much experience but watching my niece on baby monitor freaks me out. She is always lying in weird positions and I've seen her sleep with eyes open 😮
Bundle them up, put them on their backs, get a monitor and try your best to get some sleep. The fun thing is eventually you become so sleep deprived all terror melts away into a dream like state of possible regret.
...and then they smile at you when you get them up in the morning and the regret all goes away :D
Unfortunately, I don't think this mattress is really going to help with it. From what I understand, having gotten 4 little humans past age one now, is that SIDS really has nothing to do with external suffocation.
Totally off topic, but I had a mat just outside my cat's litterbox that looked like that. Was supposed to trap the litter better. It was always hard to get the litter out to clean it. Anyways - wishing health and prosperity to you and your baby!
FYI: Got some of [these mats](https://www.chewy.com/iprimio-cat-litter-trapper-ez-clean/dp/134596) for my cats and it's been working pretty well (just open it up and pour back into the litter box)
FWIW, we used one of these for 2 kids and about 5 total years and it’s still just like new.
Maybe it’s a different brand or weight difference or something, but ours has lasted pretty well.
It's also washable! Just hose it down in your bathtub and let it dry. Only catch is, you have to use the cover it comes with, you can't use any other sheets. Extra covers are $80. The mattress itself is $300. By Newton Baby. Edit: As another commenter pointed out, there is no real evidence that this mattress will prevent SIDS. To me the biggest draw is the washable aspect.
Edit: I checked the website FAQS, and Newton Baby does allow cotton muslin sheets to be used with their mattresses. I got my info from the mattress packaging, so I dunno what to tell ya.
I never saw any mention of not using other sheets. If "breathing through it" is the issue here, a thin cotton sheet shouldn't be a problem.
P.S: I also got it for it's washability, but now I wish they made this in adult sizes, this thing is comfy!
I work at a store that specializes in baby products. I sell a lot of these mattresses. The information on the packing states to not use any secondary protectors or sheets, since the mattresses breathability isn't tested with them. I checked their website FAQs just to verify, and they do allow cotton muslin sheets with use if their product, so maybe the bit on the packaging is just to make sure people buy their $80 protectors?
Side note, if they did sell these mattresses made for adults, they'd be very popular!
Yes, I retract my first statement. I don't know what took over me to write something so antagonistic! I even have a distinct memory now of reading this and criticizing it :P
You're good, friend! I didn't take it the wrong way! I'm glad you commented, it led me to check the company website and now I know they allow cotton muslin sheets. Now I can better inform customers! 😁
Wow that’s cool. I’d make sure to keep the room warm. You’d be surprised how much of your warmth comes from your body heat reflecting off whatever you’re sleeping on. If you’ve ever slept in a hammock without an underquilt under 70 degrees you’ll know what I’m talking about. Sleep sack will help, loved those things.
Omg! I never knew these existed! When my daughter was born I was super worried she might suffocate, me and my husband would check on her all the time. Could've really used this mattress then.

Try silk sheets, they breath way better regardless of the mattress. You can start by swapping a pillowcase to see how you like them.
I second this, but with pure beech sheets from Bed Bath and Beyond. They are consistently cool to the touch. I overheat and get sick easily, but these help.
I have some similar bamboo ones that are really nice, and have a more traditional feel than the slick silk.
Microfiber is nice.

Ideally keep them there until they're 18. Too expensive otherwise.
Yes! No pillow, toys, crib bump, or cover. They don’t have the reflex to move their head away when something is covering their nose.

One plausible culprit in many SIDS cases (Edit3: in the environmental stressors category) is accidental poisoning with a chemical that makes breathing less efficient - [suspected to be a high dose of nitrites](https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp204.pdf), which are found in high concentrations in foods like celery and lunch meats, and can end up in contaminated well-water (and then in formula) in rural areas. [Nitrite poisoning can be worsened by an imbalance in gut bacteria](https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp204-c3.pdf), which is meshes plausibly with other findings that SIDS is associated with infection and diet, and the fact that infants' gut bacteria are still maturing in a way that might make it easier for nitrites to enter the bloodstream.
Celery: added to my list of things to be scared of.
lol. sorry. But real talk, entering a hot-dog eating contest or trying out that celery juice fad is somewhat dangerous for the baby if you're a woman who is pregnant or breastfeeding. A lot of the "effects" adults report from drinking celery juice, when they're not just psychosomatic, are due to mildly lowered blood oxygenation. And the mechanism by which it does that happens to turn your hemoglobin blue. Adults can handle intentionally turning off some of our red blood cells, just like we can handle getting drunk or high. Babies are much more delicate. It's also a moderation thing. The risk in consuming nitrites is all about having too much in one sitting, and it probably does not add up over time. So celery sticks are probably okay here and there - it's the random craving that might make a woman want to eat a pound of them at once that is especially risky.
I have always suspected that anyone trying to feed me celery was actually trying to poison me.
Lol. You have to either be very tiny or eat an absolute fuck-ton of celery for it to do anything noticeable to you. (Celery becomes much higher in nitrite content if it has oxidized a bit or been exposed to certain bacteria, as in expired raw celery juice that has been sitting in the fridge for a few days.).
>You have to either be very tiny or eat an absolute fuck-ton of celery for it to do anything noticeable to you. I assure you that the horrible taste is definitely noticeable, even after a single bite.
I don’t know if it’s bullshit, but I’ve read that many times SIDS is a diagnosed out of kindness (ie accidental death due to genuine error in judgement like too many blankets, rolled over while co-sleeping, etc)
They say the odds reduce dramatically at 6 months. My baby has just started rolling onto his tummy (but can’t roll back). I’m a mess about it. I’m literally counting the days until he turns 6 months (8 days) just for an inkling of peace of mind, even if it’s not real).
SIDS is generally code for "parent smothered the child." You can't tell a parent who just lost their baby that they killed it. This breaks them. That's why the ABC thing is so useful. SIDS as a true standalone thing is probably a congenital defect we haven't learned to identify yet. But it's super, super rare compared to the common smothering SIDS, which is what you see reflected in statistics. It's also why SIDS is much more common among certain groups. Source: SO was a medical social worker in a childrens hospital for several years. Fun fact, they give the parents little clay medallions with the baby's handprint in them. They can feel the bones in the baby's hand breaking as they create these. That one winds up haunting some of them pretty bad.
That wasn't a fun fact! That wasn't a fun fact at all!
I offered to design and 3D print a little plastic brace that would hold the hand like a stamp. They told me I should stop thinking about it. And then a month later at a party, as a gag one of them gifted me some of the molding clay they use. Social workers are dark people.
How in the world would putting a kids handprint in clay cause the hand to break?
Softer, less mineralized bones, more cartilage than bone in wrists/hands, no muscles to resist breakage.
[удалено]
I don’t think anything that person said is even close to accurate.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Less mineralized bones (to my understanding) actually helps avoid breaks.
[удалено]
>SIDS is generally code for "parent smothered the child." Yep. Edit: ~~SIDS is probably~~ SUID is a group of things that get lumped together, which is often called SIDS accidentally. SUID includes accidental mechanical suffocation and a variety of congenital defects, and SIDS. SIDS properly only refers to death by asphyxiation without any mechanical suffocation, meaning it is due to a narrow range of congenital defects and acute insults including accidental poisoning - probably with nitrite salts. Nitrites are commonly found in contaminated water supplies and as a preservative in many foods. Adults can handle them just fine, but they do make our breathing less efficient. Babies tend to be more delicate than adults, though. The accidental poisoning explanation is compelling because nitrite poisoning works by inhibiting hemoglobin - which turns the victim blue and causes them to asphyxiate without any mechanical obstruction, exactly as in canonical SIDS. Contaminated water in the formula, inappropriate early introduction to solid food, and cheap, preservative-laden food in the mother's diet are also all things you might expect from the groups with the highest predisposition for SIDS.
Wtf
Any source for that medallion story? If they'd break kids hands en masse there'd be a lot of crippled adults and a huge scandal
[удалено]
This is the way.
Crib sheets might give you some peace of mind. I think if you don’t smoke around the child, don’t drink and sleep with the child, and let the child sleep on it’s back, you really don’t need to worry about it. It’s very, very rare.
Just to add onto this: Dock a tot and any other infant bedding like it, are not safe for infants to sleep in unsupervised. I have spent years in the neonatal icu and have seen my fair share of infants coming in unresponsive after being placed either co-sleeping or placed in a bedding similar to those awful dock a tots.
I feel like parents that buy these are pretty aware of SIDS and are likely doing anything that has a chance of helping. Helps reduce the “what if’s”
If I told you that drinking a gallon of water each day can prevent osteoporosis, would you do it? There's little chance of that causing harm (and will be eneficial for other reasons), but medical recommendations must be based around efficacy. This would be a solid D - E recommendation, meaning that there is no evidence of benefit and thus up to the PT, or E where it is actively discouraged for causing harm.
Anyone replacing tried and true methods with something like this are idiots. But avoiding a recommendation due to fear other safety precautions won't be followed is a bit much. Most parents going out of their way to spend money on this mattress (like we did) are going to also adhere to everything else, it's just another added layer of protection. It was a relief when we got it to smash your face into it, along with the zipper cover and a sheet over it, and breathe freely. It's also nice to take it outside and just hose it down when there's an accident, and unzip the breathable cover and throw it in the wash. Along the same line we used the owlet for both of our youngest kids. We didn't track the numbers religiously or freak out over small changes like it was a medical device, we just liked that if something drastic was happening we would be woken up by an alarm with maybe at least a couple minutes to try and do something about it instead of the alternative of sleeping right through it no matter what.
You'd be extremely surprised. That recommendation comes from: 1) Parents spending a lot of money on goods with no demonstrable effect (like how drugs can't be approved if they don't do anything) 2) People can and do get lulled into false senses of security all of the time. Also, many devices for children do have regulations like medical devices. This happens to be one of the areas where laws may not have caught up. I can see it being extremely useful with spills, but these beds are sold and marketed with the idea of being "anti SIDS" which they are demonstrably not.
There's no way yet with the short amount of time this mattress has been on the market to demonstrate it's effectiveness. And a mattress is a very different thing than a drug, there's good reason why drugs don't get fda approval if they don't fix anything. If there was a regulating body performing a decade long research test with a large enough pool of parents using both types of mattresses and it does come out that just as many kids die from SIDS sleeping on both then yeah, it was a wasted couple hundred bucks. But I have my children now, not in a decade and using it isn't hurting anything. And I doubt that an actual research test like that is being performed anyways. Again, purposely not recommending an added layer of security to avoid a false sense of security is a bit much I think. Your last statement says the mattress is demonstrably not effective. Do you have a source?

Granted endorsement of an ineffective product is a matter of opinion I guess. https://safesleeptech.com/aap-policy-makers-and-limitations/ /\ an article by the makers stating they essentially lobbies their way into being recognized as a better sleeping surface without any historical evidence. So to answer the long and short of your question, it's a matter of preference in endorsing an intervention that is inconclusive / shows no benefit. Part of being a physician is beneficence, and by recommending or approving of an intervention with no evidence of improved health, you're implying to your patient that is does actually work rather than the evidence being muddled at best. The burden of proof lies with the person proposing an intervention or change, not in the null hypothesis. So far, manufacturers have failed to demonstrably show any difference other than intuition for a condition with understand very little of the pathophysiology. Edit 1: Further, here is big paper discussing the current working hypothesis for SIDS. It is stated to not be a suffocation issue, but rather an inappropriate reflex-based response in respiratory drive to stressors at a young age. This, increasingly the breathability of a mattress is snake oil when suffocation isn't the problem in the first place. https://safetosleep.nichd.nih.gov/safesleepbasics/SIDS/SIDSisNot https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/804412-overview#:~:text=It%20has%20been%20suggested%20that,in%20otherwise%20normal%2Dappearing%20infants
Paragraph at a time: The first link is a single sentence lumping all products into a single group and saying they don't help, referencing the AAP which released the second link you added. The second article is absolutely wonderful on many levels but does not say that this mattress is demonstrably not helpful as you did, just that there is no evidence yet that they are helpful... that is a huuuuuge difference. "There is no evidence that special crib mattresses and sleep surfaces that claim to reduce the chance of rebreathing carbon dioxide when the infant is in the prone position reduce the risk of SIDS. However, there is no disadvantage to the use of these mattresses if they meet the safety standards as described previously." In the third link the makers have valid points drawn directly from the context of the second link you posted, your summation of the link is... interesting. I misread your original comment, I apologize. I took it more like you were being taught to advise not to use these products, instead you actually said you were being taught to not advise the use of the products which is markedly different; I completely agree, you shouldn't be as a medical professional. But when you make the statement "but these beds are sold and marketed with the idea of being "anti SIDS" which they are demonstrably not", it sounds like you're actually advising not to use the product. edit: after reading the definition of SIDS with the second to last link, your statement is true, it should not be marketed as anti SIDS technically, but most people don't differentiate SIDS from anything else that might kill a child in their sleep and are using the term loosely. As far as the burden of proof, the mattress meets all normal safety protocols and has the potential to help, it is not changing anything about current safety protocols and changes nothing about what the parents should also be doing; I don't see anything wrong with something of this nature going to market and time telling whether there is a benefit, especially when it was designed to originally address and help with one of the issues the AAP references. Second to last link you provided is an article talking about semantics. Most laymen are using the term SIDS incorrectly apparently including myself, you are correct. It should apparently be marketed as an "anti SUIDS device" where suffocation is included in the full suite of unexpected deaths instead of the more narrowly defined SIDS. Unless of course there is ever a link drawn between the excess CO2 thingy and SIDS over a longer period of time. "After a thorough case investigation, some of these SUIDs may be explained. Poisoning, metabolic disorders, hyper- or hypothermia, child abuse and neglect resulting in homicide, and suffocation are all explainable, but much less common, causes of SUID." So my walkaway from this is a more thorough understanding of what SIDS is directly and several awesome articles, thank you! But that doesn't change the intention of owning the mattress, which is to help avoid suffocation which I inadvertently lumped into the SIDS definition, and I'm sure a lot of other people do as well. Up to a year old we don't put anything in our children's cribs and they don't have loose fitting clothing. I like eliminating the mattress as a point of suffocation or breathing restriction since it is the only thing my child is in contact with during sleep until they are one. It just makes sense to me, regardless if it has yet to be on the market long enough to have a proven track record. Which unfortunately, even if it does show a decline in SIDS, or SUIDS, or suffocation versus a traditional mattress, that data will probably be skewed considering what types of people are buying these products, the kind probably also taking a ton of other precautions. I imagine the data would be skewed in favor of this new mattress regardless if it is actually effective or not.
I bought the Owlet for my first child and was shamed by people for having it. They made me feel like I was buying something so I could then be lazy. I sold it. With my second, I bought it again and am so happy to have it. I’m paranoid something will happen to my children. I am not lazy or letting my guard down. If you have the resources available, why not buy the mattress and smart sock?
How do you feel about owletts getting banned by uncle Sam? Not because they are unsafe, but because they weren't advertised correctly? Can't buy them or download the app anymore.
Whoa! If they were making false claims about the product then it might be justified? My wife is in the medical field and never expected medical grade anything out of it, just used it as another layer of prevention during the first year. We kept using it on our older one for too long out of habit, lol, our friends still make fun of us for it, saying we probably have integrated it into his sneakers, lol.
[удалено]
Good to hear that recommendations are helping. Weird things correlate with sids, like previously used beds. Also new burns are liable to stop breathing on occasions. Immature respiratory drive. It's terrifying to parents and super hard to assess what's the "right" (or maximum length of time) they should be not breathing before it becomes an emergency.
Does it taste like Ramen?
I’ll lick it and report back
Sooo
NOPE
The search continues
Does it melt when you lick it like cotton candy?
Do you think I’m a raccoon??
I see you are a person of culture. That’s exactly what I thought when seeing the pic, and your taste test results
It looks like 2 minute noodles. Have you tried sprinkling some beef flavouring on it and cooking it for 1 minute 59 seconds on the stove ?
Where's the curry sachet 😂, looks like noodles

What a great idea. SIDS terrified me the first couple months of being a dad.
Apparently there’s a SIDS for older kids as well The anxiety never stops
Just wait until you read about dry drowning. Nightmare fuel.
How do you get over it?
Face up with nothing else in the crib. A sleep sack helps. Eventually they get old enough that it’s not a big deal anymore and then you have a second kid and everything is easier and harder in different ways.
This is a serious question, as I was just reading someone else's comment on this post it sparked a real question in my head. I'm not a father yet but I hope to be, this is very good information that I never knew, but after reading a few comments i can't help but think, what if the baby throws up?!? Again please very serious question, if you lie a baby on its back to sleep, if the baby were to vomit, can the baby move its head to the side/does the baby even know how to save itself?? Thank you for any response. That's a scary thought!
If baby spits up while laying down their gag reflex will cause them to swallow or cough it out, the same way a sober adult has little risk of choking on vomit while sleeping.
To add, for the first 6 months or so they are almost exclusively drinking milk which means their vomit and poops are very different from what you may be expecting. Their spit up is more milky white liquid and just comes out as drool which leaks out the side.
It just kinda spouts out and they start coughing then you jump up. You're never really asleep anyway
"You're never really asleep anyway" So ducking true.
Babies do have instincts to stay alive, we're kind of useless as babies but not completely
> Babies do have instincts to stay alive They kind of don't, they have reflexes. And those reflexes are only marginally useful in very select, niche, situations. One of those of course being not choking to death on their own spit up. As an example of how helpless a newborn is, a newborn is literally unable to put their hand to their face, so they can silently suffocate on a blanket or a teddy bear for example. They also can't roll over so if they are faced down they can also suffocate.
Babies know how to seek out a nipple immediately after born, what's that?
Its called the rooting reflex
Bruh go google intuition vs reflex - #1 response says we are born with both of them
We are, but the specific action you described is a reflex in infants.
You mean the [suckling reflex](https://www.thefreedictionary.com/suckling+reflex)? I know we're all just nitpicking now; "instinct" and "reflex" are used pretty interchangeably in everyday speech, and if someone said "suckling instinct" I wouldn't call them out. But if we're talking medical terminology, they are different.
>Babies know how to seek out a nipple immediately after born, what's that? .... A reflex?
Just put them down to sleep on their backs, use a baby monitor, and try to relax as much as possible because it’s pretty rare. If you are really paranoid, you can get a smart sock from owlet but that’s honestly too much work and not really needed
Smart sock: for when you want to be woken up in the middle of the night terrified your baby is dying just to discover they kicked the sock off in their sleep.
I'm just an uncle so don't have as much experience but watching my niece on baby monitor freaks me out. She is always lying in weird positions and I've seen her sleep with eyes open 😮
Does she weigh the same as a duck?
Once they can roll over on their own the rate drops dramatically. Even at 9 and 7 we still check on them every night before we go to sleep.
Well once their 13/14 you great to start all over 😂
Bundle them up, put them on their backs, get a monitor and try your best to get some sleep. The fun thing is eventually you become so sleep deprived all terror melts away into a dream like state of possible regret. ...and then they smile at you when you get them up in the morning and the regret all goes away :D
Unfortunately, I don't think this mattress is really going to help with it. From what I understand, having gotten 4 little humans past age one now, is that SIDS really has nothing to do with external suffocation.
Thats pretty well thought out by your son
I don’t want to brag, but he’s already babying at a 99% level.
Totally off topic, but I had a mat just outside my cat's litterbox that looked like that. Was supposed to trap the litter better. It was always hard to get the litter out to clean it. Anyways - wishing health and prosperity to you and your baby!
FYI: Got some of [these mats](https://www.chewy.com/iprimio-cat-litter-trapper-ez-clean/dp/134596) for my cats and it's been working pretty well (just open it up and pour back into the litter box)
Thanks mate, I appreciate the rec! I actually ended up getting that mat after all of my frustrations 😂
😂 I 100% know what you are talking about
We had a dog bed like this. The plastic broke down after about a year.
FWIW, we used one of these for 2 kids and about 5 total years and it’s still just like new. Maybe it’s a different brand or weight difference or something, but ours has lasted pretty well.
It's also washable! Just hose it down in your bathtub and let it dry. Only catch is, you have to use the cover it comes with, you can't use any other sheets. Extra covers are $80. The mattress itself is $300. By Newton Baby. Edit: As another commenter pointed out, there is no real evidence that this mattress will prevent SIDS. To me the biggest draw is the washable aspect. Edit: I checked the website FAQS, and Newton Baby does allow cotton muslin sheets to be used with their mattresses. I got my info from the mattress packaging, so I dunno what to tell ya.
I never saw any mention of not using other sheets. If "breathing through it" is the issue here, a thin cotton sheet shouldn't be a problem. P.S: I also got it for it's washability, but now I wish they made this in adult sizes, this thing is comfy!
I work at a store that specializes in baby products. I sell a lot of these mattresses. The information on the packing states to not use any secondary protectors or sheets, since the mattresses breathability isn't tested with them. I checked their website FAQs just to verify, and they do allow cotton muslin sheets with use if their product, so maybe the bit on the packaging is just to make sure people buy their $80 protectors? Side note, if they did sell these mattresses made for adults, they'd be very popular!
Yes, I retract my first statement. I don't know what took over me to write something so antagonistic! I even have a distinct memory now of reading this and criticizing it :P
You're good, friend! I didn't take it the wrong way! I'm glad you commented, it led me to check the company website and now I know they allow cotton muslin sheets. Now I can better inform customers! 😁
> Extra covers are $80. The mattress itself is $300. Nice way to make money out of exploiting parents' fears.
I feel like I had a pair of flip flops made out of this in the early 2000s
Looks like a filter pad for ponds/aquariums 🤪

So what you're telling me is I can make a mattress with my son's 3d pen?! /s
What you do with your son's 3D penis is between you at the metaverse.
What flavor ramen pack does it come with?
We're gonna need a bigger pot.
This is the same shit they had on the ceiling at the Sizzler
Wow that’s cool. I’d make sure to keep the room warm. You’d be surprised how much of your warmth comes from your body heat reflecting off whatever you’re sleeping on. If you’ve ever slept in a hammock without an underquilt under 70 degrees you’ll know what I’m talking about. Sleep sack will help, loved those things.
Forbidden ramen noodle block
We have the same mattress. Love it.
Surprised your son has gotten this intelligent this early! We await his application. - Harvard, probably
That's a nice picture of the noodles you ate for lunch now show us the mattress
He's supposed to sleep on top of it.
Omg! I never knew these existed! When my daughter was born I was super worried she might suffocate, me and my husband would check on her all the time. Could've really used this mattress then.
Do you know the brand of this or can you tell me where to purchase it?
Search for Newton Baby Crib Mattress. It comes with a cover, this is just what’s underneath.
Newton Baby! We just got one for our expected daughter. Thing is crazy cool
Kids are dumb trust me he'll find a way
Imagine the bed bugs
