Last month, Indiana Department of Health learned of over 19 sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUIDs) related to unsafe sleep.

This number is significantly higher than Indiana's average rate of 2 cases per week over the course of one year, indicating a troubling trend. See the press release here: https://buff.ly/GnPbug0

In collaboration with the Indiana Department of Health, we are reminding parents and caregivers to take steps to protect infants after a recent increase in unsafe sleep-related deaths.

For every nap and bedtime, always place your baby:
🙅‍♀️ ALONE – nothing else in the crib
👉 BACK – on his or her back to sleep
🛏️ CRIB – in a dedicated crib or bassinet

Unsafe sleep situations often include co-sleeping with adults, blankets or pillows in the crib, or placing a baby on his or her stomach to sleep. Following the ABCs of safe sleep saves lives.
