October is Infant Safe Sleep Month!

in Michigan, an infant dies every 2-3 days due to sleep-related causes? This statistic is startling, but luckily, infant sleep-related death is preventable. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the following safe baby sleep practices:

• Place your baby on their back for all naps & at night.
• Choose a firm, flat sleep surface for sleep.
• Share a room with your baby but never share a bed.
• Keep soft objects & loose bedding out of your baby's sleep area.
• Don't let your baby get overheated.

Read about these recommendations and more at https://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/baby/sleep/pages/A-Parents-Guide-to-Safe-Sleep.aspx.
