It’s Safe Sleep Saturday! 😴💤

A clear crib is a safer crib. For every nap and every night, place baby on their back in a safety-approved crib, bassinet, or play yard with a firm, flat mattress and fitted sheet.

Keep blankets, pillows, toys, bumpers, and other added items out. These products can cover a baby’s face or block their airway, increasing the risk of accidental suffocation.

This Baby Safety Month, remember: baby needs nothing extra in their sleep space.

Friday with Fred Rogers Institute! Wise words indeed! After the severe storms in the area, it’s especially appropriate. ⛈️

Fred Rogers once said that “Human relationships are primary in all of living. When the gusty winds blow and shake our lives, if we know that people care about us, we may bend with the wind… but we won’t break.”

This report on Early Relational Health underscores the importance of relationships, especially in the early years for children and the adults around them.

September is Baby Safety Month, a reminder that some of the most important steps we take to protect babies happen every day.

Safe sleep is an important part of infant safety, and having clear, evidence-based information can help parents, caregivers, and professionals make informed decisions.
