This October we hold space for every loss, every story and every little life that will never be forgotten.

It’s not just a loss. It’s a call for change.💙

Remember the ABCs of Safe Sleep:

–Place baby to sleep (A)lone: Baby sleeps best in their own sleep space, without pillows, blankets, or bumpers.
–On their (B)ack: Always place baby to sleep on a firm, flat surface.
–In a (C)rib: Use a safety-approved crib, bassinet, or play yard.
–And in a (S)moke-free environment.

No family should have to grieve alone. Feel free to show your support by dropping a “💙”

Critical information from the CDC about infant deaths! One infant death is one too many! Please read and share. If you need help with safe sleep, please reach out to us at [email protected] or [email protected].

A new report in CDC’s MMWR found that from 2020 through 2024, unsafe sleep practices were present in at least 3 in 4 sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUID) based on data from the SUID and Sudden Death in the Young Case Registry. Safe sleep practices can help reduce SUID risk. Always place babies to sleep on their backs, in a non-shared crib or bassinet, with no soft or loose bedding. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/75/wr/mm7535a1.htm
