The Pēpi-Pod® Program Preventing sudden unexpected death in infancy
Research Features, Vol.144, pp.18-21
2022
Abstract
Infants are more likely to die suddenly and unexpectedly in the first six months of life, usually associated with sleeping.
In Australia, that risk is higher in families with social vulnerabilities.
The Pēpi-Pod® Program is an intervention that supports a centuries-old Indigenous cultural childcare practice of shared sleeping while creating a zone of protection around a vulnerable baby wherever suffocation risk is heightened.
Research by Professor Jeanine Young at the University of the Sunshine Coast, in collaboration with stakeholders, shows the program is saving lives.
