Patient's question:
My baby is just a few months old, and we've always slept together. Today, I saw a news report saying that if babies sleep carelessly, they can suffocate. Is that true? I want to ask if suffocation can cause a baby to die?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend. Asphyxiation is a very fatal disease in life. If it is not rescued in time, it is very easy to die. Usually, asphyxiation can cause death within just 5 minutes, and it is irreversible death of brain cells. Even if rescued, it may become a vegetable, so the golden rescue time for the brain is usually less than 4 minutes. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to letting the baby sleep on their side.
