All infants who are seen for well child exams at Knoxville Hospital & Clinics will now be receiving a free “This Side Up” onesie as an educational effort to raise awareness of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and SIDS prevention. Approximately 2,000 infants die from SIDS each year; three to four infant deaths due to SIDS occur in Marion County each year. Unsafe sleeping environments attribute to most infant SID deaths according to the hospital. The “This Side Up” onesie is one way to educate parents that the safest way for their infant to sleep is on their back. If anyone would like to purchase a “This Side Up” onesie, they are available for sale in the Flutterbye Gift Shop at Knoxville Hospital and Clinics for $10.
