October is Infant Safe Sleep Month! This month we’re sharing important tips to help keep babies safe while they sleep. One of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of sleep-related infant death is to always place babies on their backs to sleep—for every sleep, whether it’s nap time or bedtime.

Back to sleep for EVERY sleep.💙 Let’s work together to protect our littlest Michiganders.

During the fall, the weather can start to get cooler! You can turn this into a learning moment with your little one by asking, “How has the weather changed?” Then, talk about what clothes you wear when it starts to get cold! “How can we stay warm in the fall?”

Families in Michigan can now get free diapers through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

If your family is part of a program like Medicaid, Food Assistance, or CDC, and you have a baby or toddler in diapers, you may qualify! Families can get diapers once a month for 4 months. To sign up, go to your local MDHHS office and ask for the Diaper Help Form (MDHHS-Pub-6251).

Let’s work together to keep our little ones happy and healthy!

Taking a walk gives children many opportunities to compare (which stone is bigger?), assess (how many acorns did we find?), note similarities and differences (does the duck have fur like the bunny does?) and categorize (see if you can find some red leaves). You can also talk about size (by taking big and little steps) and estimate distance (is the park close to our house or far away?).
