DECATUR — Public awareness of sleep-related infant deaths is critical in preventing these deaths, the GBI reports.The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Department of Public Health and Division of Family and Children Services hope to raise awareness about the dangers of co-sleeping. Prevention and awareness campaigns can effectively communicate the true nature of sleep-related infant deaths and the danger of unsafe sleeping environments. The majority of infant deaths in Georgia are not primarily related to sudden infant death syndrome, which many view as unpreventable, but is attributable to sudden unexplained infant death and other sleep-related deaths that are preventable.
