BabeSafe Cot Death Prevention
in accordance with Dr Sprott’s mattress-wrapping specifications.
PREVENT COT DEATH
Every day babies around the world die from cot death. In Australia, between 130-150 babies die each year from cot death. However, research now shows that simple precautions can prevent cot death, SIDS.
The BabeSafe range of mattress covers protects babies against exposure to toxic gases generated from the elements phosphorus, arsenic and antimony.
CAUSE OF COT DEATH
Two scientists, Dr Jim Sprott in New Zealand and Mr Barry Richardson in England, have proved that cot death is caused by gases generated by fungal activity on compounds of phosphorus, arsenic and/or antimony which are present in many baby mattresses and other items of baby bedding.
SOLUTION
The solution is to wrap your baby’s cot mattress with a strictly specified mattress cover which prevents the gases from reaching the baby; and to use over the wrapped mattress specified bedding which is not capable of generating the gases concerned.
“Mattress-wrapping for cot death prevention” has been publicised nationwide in New Zealand for the past 11 years. During that time a very large number of New Zealand babies have slept on mattresses wrapped in specially formulated slip-on polyethylene mattress covers. These mattress covers (which were designed by Dr Sprott and are called BabeSafe covers) are now in use in a number of countries.
There has been no reported cot death – anywhere in the world – on any mattress wrapped in accordance with Dr Sprott’s mattress-wrapping specifications.
The BabeSafe range of mattress covers protects babies against exposure to toxic gases generated from the elements phosphorus, arsenic and antimony.
Compounds of these elements are frequently present in mattresses.
Made in New Zealand to the specifications of Dr T. J. Sprott
