  5. Infant protection products’ marketability Growing popularity of infant protection products Parent’s concern about their baby’s safety In-depth interview: Su-Jin Bae (35, female) I always feel anxious for fear that my baby sleeps on his stomach and dies. And whenever I feed my baby breast milk at night, I worry that the baby might suffocate when my arm puts pressure on the baby’s chest while I am drowsy. Parents worry about their babies and therefore, increases the popularity of infant protection products, which implies that there will be a great demand of anti-suffocation & SIDS products.
