Every baby deserves a safe place to sleep. Here are the 𝗔𝗕𝗖s of safe sleep to help protect your infant:

🍼 𝗔 – Alone:
Place your baby to sleep aloneβ€”no pillows, blankets, toys, or bumper pads.

🍼 𝗕 – Back:
Always lay your baby on their back for every nap and bedtime.

🍼 𝗖 – Crib:
Use a safe, firm sleep surface like a crib, bassinet, or pack-and-play.

Additional tips:
βœ” Keep baby’s sleep area in your room for the first 6–12 months
βœ” Dress baby in a sleep sack instead of using loose blankets
βœ” Avoid overheatingβ€”keep the room at a comfortable temperature

Safe sleep practices help reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related injuries.

Heading out on the roads for the holidays? A little preparation can go a long way in keeping you and your loved ones safe. Before you travel, remember to:

β€’ Check the weather and road conditions before leaving
β€’ Slow down and allow extra time to reach your destination
β€’ Keep your gas tank at least half full
β€’ Pack an emergency kit with blankets, snacks, water, and a phone charger
β€’ Let someone know your travel plans and expected arrival time

If conditions are poor, it’s okay to delay travel until it’s safer. Stay warm, stay alert, and take care on the roads this winter! πŸ§€β„οΈ
