CARE ABOUT KIDS

Parents: If your baby is under 12 months old, you can help prevent SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndome), suffocation, and strangulation by following these three tips:
1. Place your baby to sleep on his or her back. Babies who sleep on their backs have a much lower risk of dying from SIDS and suffocation. African American babies die from SIDS at more than twice the rate of other babies.2.Remove all soft bedding from the crib. A baby can suffocate from soft bedding in a crib. Be sure to remove all pillows, quilts, comforters, and sheepskins from your crib.3. Put your baby to sleep in a safe crib. A safe crib is the best place for your baby to sleep. Make sure your crib has: No missing or broken hardware and slats no more than 2 3-8" apart. No corner posts over 1/16" high. No cutout designs in the headboard or foot boards. A firm, tight-fitting mattress. A safety certification seal ( on new cribs). MY WORD:
warm clothing is sufficient for babies to keep warm and a warm room to sleep in.
