Do you know the ABCs of safe sleep? Keeping your baby safe while they sleep is one of the most important things you can do. Let’s review the basics to protect our little ones.

The ABCs of Safe Sleep:
🔠 Alone: Baby should sleep alone in their own space.
🔠 Back: Always place baby on their back to sleep, for every sleep.
🔠 Crib: Use a safety-approved crib, bassinet, or play yard with a firm mattress and fitted sheet.

🚭 Smoke-Free Home: Keep baby’s environment free from smoke and v**e.

If you don't have a safe sleep space, you may be eligible for a free portable crib. Contact your local Department of Social Services to check eligibility: https://otda.ny.gov/workingfamilies/dss.asp

Learn more at health.ny.gov/safesleep and check for recalled items at cpsc.gov/Recalls

This information is shared in partnership with the Oneida County Department of Family and Community Services and the Child Fatality Review Team.
