💛 Safe Sleep Saves Lives 💛
The Indiana Department of Health reminds us to always follow the ABCs of Safe Sleep:
🍼 A – Alone: Baby sleeps alone, with caregiver nearby in the same room.
🍼 B – Back: Always place baby on their back.
🍼 C – Crib: Use a crib with only a tight-fitting sheet—no bumper pads, pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals.
Let’s work together to keep our little ones safe. 💙

We urge parents to take steps to protect the health and safety of their infants following a surge this month of deaths caused by unsafe sleep environments.

Unsafe situations often involve co-sleeping with an adult (such as in a bed), blankets and pillows in the baby’s crib, or the baby being placed on his or her stomach to sleep.

Remember the ABCs of safe sleep:
1️⃣ Alone: Babies should be placed alone with caregiver nearby in the same room
2️⃣ Back: On his or her back
3️⃣ Crib: With only a tight-fitting sheet, no bumper pads, pillows, blankets or stuffed animals
