🩷🩵 October is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Awareness Month!
SIDS is the unexplained death of a baby under the age of 1. While the exact cause is unknown, following safe sleep practices can help reduce the risk of sleep-related infant deaths.
👶🏽 Remember the ABC's of Safe Sleep:
🩵 A - Alone: Babies should sleep in their own safe sleep space, without pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals.
🩷 B - Back: Always place babies on their backs for every sleep, including naps.
🩵 C - Crib: Use a safety-approved crib, bassinet, or play yard with a firm, flat mattress and fitted sheet.
