And rebreathing results in the tragic deaths of hundreds of infants annually. The gentle hum of the built-in fan helps many babies sleep better. We believe you will find this to be the healthiest and safest crib mattress available today. More than 5,000,000 U.S. children suffer from asthma, nearly double the rate of 20 years ago. Asthma now represents the leading cause of pediatric emergency room visits.
Doctors recommend reducing early exposure to airborne allergens to help reduce the risks to infants.
These particles are more likely to penetrate deeply into the lungs alveoli, where they can remain embedded for years, or in the case of soluble particles, be absorbed into the bloodstream. It uses a permanently charged electret filter media that is exceptionally effective at removing the smallest particles under 0.3 microns, through a process known as diffusion. Rebreathing When a baby sleeps in certain positions or rolls onto their stomach, pockets of exhaled carbon dioxide can build up around the mouth and nose, especially with loose bedding, soft mattresses and fluffy crib bumpers. Researchers have further theorized that certain babies have a dulled arousal response, and, when faced with rebreathing, do not move their heads to breathe fresh air. It has been proven that rebreathing can occur even on a firm mattress covered by a single sheet.
