One explanation may be that non-prone infants are not rebreathing exhaled air from underlying bedding. Despite this risk, many infants still sleep prone.
New products claim to reduce rebreathing risk for prone infants.
5 commercial sleep products were studied. The t for CO 2 dispersal from the mannequin-bedding ensemble quantitates rebreathing potential of the bedding. Ten repetitions of the CO 2 washout were done with each product under each of the three simulations. All systems exceeded thresholds under one or more simulations except the Halo System.
