On average, three infants a week are reported to die of SIDS in Canada. Although we do not know the spe cific cause of SIDS, we do have some knowledge of certain risk factors. Based on study findings by the Canadian Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths, the Canadian Institute for Child Health, the Canadian Paediatric Society and Health Canada, the following recommendations have been made: □ Normal healthy infants should be placed on their backs for sleep unless a health condition requires tummy-down sleeping. □ Awake infants do need 'tummy time' for developmental reasons. Once able to turn on their own from back to tummy, it is not necessary to force them to sleep on their back. □ Bed-sharing does not reduce the risk of SIDS, however, if the person who shares the bed is a smoker or has consumed alcohol or other drugs, the risk of SIDS is increased. □ All infants should be cared for in a smoke and drug-free environment. □ Infants who have been exposed to smoke before or after birth are at an increased risk of SIDS. Certain drugs, as well as binge drinking in pregnancy may also increase the risk. □ Infants should be dressed and SALE PRICES END SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 2 ,1 9 9 9 , WHILE QUANTITIES LAST ALL M EN'S JOCKEY UNDERWEAR & SOCKS Only 5 days le ft to save 25% on 'brie fs, loose boxers, fitted boxers, b ik in is and more.

HEALTH NOTES covered in a way to avoid overheating, even during illness. □ If the room temperature is com fortable for the parents, then it should also be fine for the infant. □ All women should be encouraged to breastfeed. Breastfeeding may help to protect against SIDS. Support ser vices are available in your community. □ Use firm flat bedding for normal healthy infants. Use sheets and light blankets as needed. □ Do not use products that maintain sleeping positions. □ Do not use soft bedding such as pillows, comforters, bumper pads, and lambskin or similar products. Remove objects from the crib, which could pre vent fresh air from circulating around the sleeping baby's face (e.g. stuffed « toys). □ There is no evidence to support a reduced risk of SIDS in homes with apnea monitors (e.g. monitor alerts par en ts) that the baby has stopped breath ing).

Jewish new year Halton's Jewish Community joins people around the world in celebrating the New Year 5760, starting this week end. Rosh Hashanah, which means New Year, and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, are only 10 days apart. Known as the High Holy Days, they are the most significant dates in the Jewish year, equivalent to Christmas and Easter in the Christian calendar. The revelry usually associated with the beginning of a new year will be noticeably absent. For Jews, this is a time of painstak ing introspection and self-evaluation. Synagogues fill with people who come to offer penitential prayer, confessions, and petitions for health, prosperity, and peace. At Shaarei-Beth El Congregation of Halton, 186 Morrison Rd., Rabbi Edward Goldfarb will be leading High Holy Days services, which will include the participation of the choir and canto rial soloist, Ted Labow. Services will be held on Friday, Sept. 10th, 8 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday mornings, Sept. 11th and 12th, 10 a.m.; Sunday, Sept. 19th, 7:30 p.m.; and Monday, Sept., 20th, 10 a.m. Children's Services will be held Sunday, Sept. 12th, at 1:30 p.m., and Monday, Sept. 20th, at 2:15 p.m. For further information, call Shaarei-Beth-EI, 849-6000.
