Safe Sleep for Baby

Safe Sleep For BabyThe safest place for babies to sleep is on their back, in a crib in your room. This makes night-time breastfeeding easier, and may help protect against SIDS.

Since 2002, the Safe Sleep for Baby program has provided hundreds of babies and families with safe cribs and SIDS education from public health nurses. 

The demand for safe sleep cribs continues to exceed the supply.  We are also educating parents and caregivers about Shaken Baby Syndrome-Abusive Head Trauma and how to cope with the crying baby in a way that is safe for the whole family.
