Baby Nests, Baby Pods may cause suffocation, says Health Canada

Ottawa, Aug 26 (IBNS): Health Canada has issued a warning about the risk of suffocation due to baby nets, baby pods, soft, padded sides, media reports said.

Health Canada said the soft pad on the baby nest might cause suffocation.

Spokesperson Gary Holub, however, said there had been no such event in Canada.

In an email interaction to The Canadian Press, he said: "We are aware of open investigations in another (international) jurisdiction regarding baby nest incidents."

"We do not have details of these investigations, but remain in contact with our international partners to learn as much as we can," Holub added.

Holub said the babies should always be kept with an attendant and the nets should never be placed inside other products.

He found out in the research that the sharing of room by the baby and one or two caregivers could reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Holub was quoted by Huffington Post as saying: "Health Canada will continue to monitor the situation and will take action to protect the health and safety of Canadians, as needed."
