To reduce the risk of sudden unexpected infant death follow these ABCs of Safe Sleep.
Keep Baby Close – Placing your baby to sleep in the same room where you sleep but not the same bed reduces the rate of SIUD/SIDS
Babies should be put to sleep on their backs to reduce the risk of SUID/ SIDS. Avoid putting baby on his or her tummy or side during sleep or nap time.
It is safest for babies to be put to sleep in a crib with railings no more than 2 3/8” apart. The mattress should be firm and covered with a tight, fitted sheet.
If your baby does not have their own bed, please contact us for assistance getting a pack-n-play.
Do not place pillows, blankets, toys, bumper pads, or stuffed animals in baby’s crib.
For your baby’s comfort, you may use a blanket sleeper.

Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to him saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.”
-Luke 18:15-16, NIV
