Patient's question:
I am a new mother, and I didn't buy a crib for the baby. Usually, the baby sleeps with me. Now that it's getting colder, the blanket is quite large, and I'm always worried that I might accidentally cover the baby with it, causing suffocation. I want to know if suffocation can be contagious?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend. If a small doll experiences suffocation, as its body tension has not yet developed fully, it may not produce some more prominent struggling movements. Sometimes, parents may not notice this in time. It is best not to let the doll share a bed with adults. It is safer to wrap the doll in a small blanket alone.
