Infant Safe Sleep

Don't Wake Up to a Tragedy

 

Did you know? Every 5 days, a baby in Arizona suffocates while sleeping.


Talking to parents about the risks of sleep suffocation and the use of safe sleep practices has been shown to reduce sleep-related deaths.  Encourage parents to:

  • Share a room, not a bed
  • Lay baby down to sleep in a crib or bassinet for every sleep
  • Don't sleep with your baby
  • Don't let your baby sleep in a crowded crib
  • Place babies on their back every time, at night and for naps
  • Give babies space to breathe - no pillows, bumpers, blankets or toys


The materials in this toolkit can be used to help ensure that no other parent in Arizona 

wakes up to a tragedy.
