Vaping in Pregnancy Linked to Infant Deaths | Auckland News

New Zealand research links maternal vaping to sudden infant deaths, especially when bed-sharing — a dangerous combo that rivals smoking’s risks. In 101 infant deaths between 2022-2023, nearly 75% involved moms who smoked or vaped, and 70% occurred during bed-sharing. Vaping was tied to half of those bed-sharing cases — far more than the 1 in 5 without it. Experts warn nicotine may heighten infant vulnerability, urging pregnant people to quit vaping entirely and adopt safe sleep habits. The message: vaping isn’t risk-free during pregnancy — avoid it, get support, and prioritize your baby’s safety. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
