As a new parent, you are probably aware that pediatricians recommend placing sleeping infants on their backs, because sleeping face-down can interfere with infant’s breathing. Yet, infants still manage to roll over because they are not always comfortable sleeping on their back. So, it makes sense to use the Airflo breathable mattress because it allows infants to breath even when sleeping face-down. And wouldn’t you feel safer knowing this mattress has been recommended by world-renowned pediatrician and SIDS expert DR. Joan Hodgeman? Common Sense: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants sleep on their back because sleeping facedown on a regular mattress can interfere with infant's breathing. Yet, despite precaution infants still manage to rollover. With the new Airflo Breathable Mattress infants who sleep facedown can breathe effortlessly until they are safely placed on their back.
