Introduction

The crib bumper is also known as the crib liner. It is typically designed to surround the interior side of the baby’s crib to prevent her from slipping her limbs through the slats or barging her head accidentally. Based on the research about the Crib bumper indicates that it have a harmful effect. One of the problems, which is associated with the crib bumpers is that it can cause fatal death of the infant. The data research obtained Maryland indicate that the infant could quickly suffocate if his or her nose and mouth get trapped under the pad. Since there no imperative studies which show the importance use of the pad, there are recommended to be ban within the United States of America. This is based on the validity of the research which was done by Mary land scientist (Y Moon, Hauck & Colson, 2016).

Implementation

Importantly, the research which was done in two thousand and five by Maryland suggests that infant hitting their head, and legs within the crib can sometimes lead to severe injuries. Therefore, the main report which they have as one of the health recommendations have it that all the crib bumpers should be avoided at all cost (Hums, Schmidt, Novak & Wolff, 2016). However, Maryland’s safe sleep program bans crib Bumpers, and the fight for health is due to the disparities which existed between the American whites and Negros within the united stated. The study indicates that the majority of the whites typically used to use crib bumpers which resulted in the death of the infant. The information from the Maryland department of health and mental hygiene exposed different that coexist between the African American and white infant mortality rate (Shin et al., 2019).

Dissemination of the data.

The section will outline how the findings obtained will be of much importance in future. The data collected stand at the value of 4% out of one thousand as compared to an American death rate of 14% out of one thousand lactating mothers who lost the lives of the young one due to the use of the crib bumpers. For effective implementation of banning of crib bumpers, the state legislature provided funding to Maryland’s Department of Healthcare and Mental Hygiene to begin the Babies Born Healthy infant mortality reduction initiative. Therefore, this kind of action aims at pregnancy, post-delivery as well as preconception awareness campaign so that to reduce chances of unnecessary cases of the infant death problems. Importantly, the ban of crib bumpers within the states of the American also aims at promoting safe sleep of the infant (Scheers, Dayton, Batcher & Thach, 2019). The relevant studies about the infant show that if the infant is cribbed within the crib bumpers, they rarely enjoy enough sleep; hence, they tend to suffocate.

Conclusion

The write-up essay staged the campaign awareness of the regular use of the crib bumpers. Due to different ideas collected from various studies shows that crib bumpers have numerous negative impact on infant (Tanabe & Hauck, 2018). However, due to the ban, the death rate of the infant was reduced at a certain percentage, which clearly shows that indeed, crib bumper had some devastating problems to infants. However, due to effective control of the eminence chances of possible death rate, which is associated with crib bumpers, different innovation about better means of the carrying the infants is on the race (Gaw, Chounthirath & Smith,2017).
