☁️💤 Safe Sleep tip: offer baby a pacifier for naps and at night, once they are feeding well.

• Research shows that pacifiers are especially helpful for reducing SIDS risk in formula-fed babies.
• Do not attach the pacifier to clothing, stuffed animals, blankets or other items.
• Do not coat the pacifier with anything, such as a sweetened liquid or honey.
• If the pacifier falls out of baby's mouth during sleep, you don't need to put it back in.
• It is okay if baby doesn't want the pacifier; don't force baby to take it.

As a National Infant Safe Sleep Certified Hospital, we want you to be well informed on ways to keep baby safe! If you ever have questions, we're here to help. Just call 337-527-4361 💙

Hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways to keep our community safe. West Calcasieu Cameron Hospital encourages everyone to practice the five proper handwashing steps:

🫧 Wet your hands with clean running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap and apply soap.
🫧 Lather your hands by rubbing them together with soap. Lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers and under your nails.
🫧 Scrub for 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the "Happy Birthday" song from beginning to end twice.
🫧 Rinse your hands well under clean, running water
🫧 Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.

When soap and water are unavailable, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. 💙
