Family members play key roles in keeping your baby safe! Be sure everyone practices safe sleep!

Safe sleep is a family effort, and older siblings can be some of baby’s best helpers.

Explain that the crib, bassinet, or play yard must stay clear, even when toys, blankets, pillows, and other special gifts are added with love. Encourage children to ask an adult before picking up or approaching the baby.

A few simple, age-appropriate reminders can help every member of the family play a part in keeping baby safe.
