When it comes to twins and siblings, safe sleep still means separate sleep spaces.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that each baby sleep in their own crib, bassinet, or play yard. Sharing a crib can increase the risk of overheating, rolling into unsafe positions, and suffocation.

The safest setup is simple, each baby on their back, in their own clear sleep space with a firm mattress and fitted sheet.

Close together, safely separate.

Motherhood is built in quiet moments.

In the bedtime stories read one more time.
In the comforting hugs after hard days.
In the strength it takes to keep showing up, even when no one sees the effort behind the scenes.

Today, we celebrate mothers, grandmothers, caregivers, and all those nurturing the next generation with love, resilience, and hope.

At Parents as Teachers, we are honored to walk alongside families every day — supporting parents as their children’s first and most influential teachers.

To every mother and caregiver: thank you for the care you give, the sacrifices you make, and the futures you help shape.

Happy Mother’s Day. 💙
