Too many babies die in unsafe sleep environments, and many of these deaths are preventable. Get your Sweet Dreams Team – the people you count on the help you with the baby – the baby’s dad, your mom, grandma, grandad, your sister, brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, best friend- to help you. And be sure they all know and practice the ABCs of safe sleep.

To do so, remember the ABCs of safe sleep: Alone, Back, empty Crib.

Smoking is widely known to be a leading cause of preventable death of infants under the age of. Women who smoke during their pregnancy are more likely than those who don’t have a baby born too small, too soon or to lose a baby to a sleep-related death.

Remember, share the room, never the bed, and be sure your #sweetdreamsteam always practices the ABCs of Safe Sleep.
