Dr. Rachel Moon, the chair of the AAP's task force on SIDS, noted that infants could also experience fatigue, which could impact their breathing.
At this time, there are not any federal safety requirements for infant sleep sacks, however, the Consumer Product Safety Commission Chair Alex Hoehn-Saric said the agency was looking into examining wearable blankets.
Although there was no conclusive data that the products are unsafe, the AAP seeks to avoid possible deaths or injuries.
