New data released by Los Angeles County officials today finds that suffocation while bed-sharing is the leading cause of infant death in L.A. County. According to the data, a baby suffocates every five days while sleeping in L.A. County.

And from 2008-2011, more babies died from suffocation because of unsafe sleep than all accidental deaths for children under age 14 combined. L.A. County, along with the Inter-Agency Council on Child Abuse and Neglect and First 5 LA is rolling out a new campaign seeking to educate parents on the dangers of bed-sharing.
