October is SIDS Awareness Month 🌙

If your child is in need of a safe space to sleep, Ohio has a safe sleep program for families that qualify. For more information: childrenandyouth.ohio.gov/for-families/maternal-infant-wellness/infant-safe-sleep

October is SIDS Awareness Month

This month, we honor the families affected by Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and work together to promote safe sleep practices for infants.
Every action we take—sharing resources, spreading awareness, and supporting caregivers—helps make a difference.

Remember the ABCs of Safe Sleep:
• Alone
• Back
• Crib

Let’s keep our communities informed, supported, and empowered. 💛
