Prevent Cot Death
Every day many babies around
the world die from cot death. In Australia, between 130-150
babies die each year from cot death. However, research now
shows that simple precautions can prevent cot death.
CAUSE OF COT DEATH
Two scientists, Dr Jim Sprott in New Zealand and Mr Barry
Richardson in England, have proved that cot death is caused
by gases generated by fungal activity on compounds of phosphorus,
arsenic and/or antimony which are present in many baby mattresses
and other items of baby bedding.
SOLUTION
The solution is to wrap your baby’s cot mattress with
a strictly specified mattress cover which prevents the gases
from reaching the baby; and to use over the wrapped mattress
specified bedding which is not capable of generating the gases
concerned.
“Mattress-wrapping for cot death prevention”
has been publicised nationwide in New Zealand for the past
8 years. During that time a very large number of New Zealand
babies have slept on mattresses wrapped in specially formulated
slip-on polyethylene mattress covers. These mattress covers
(which were designed by Dr Sprott and are called BabeSafe
covers) are now in use in a number of countries.
There has been no reported cot death – anywhere in
the world – on any mattress wrapped in accordance with
Dr Sprott’s mattress-wrapping specifications.
