Infant Safe Sleep
Parents and caregivers want to provide safety for their children. Health care professionals are their most trusted source of information. Teaching families about the latest safe sleep guidelines is the first step in helping to prevent Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID), the death of an infant less than 1 year of age that occurs suddenly and unexpectedly, and whose cause of death is not immediately obvious before investigation. While there can be multiple causes for SUID, supporting families in implementing safe sleep practices will help lower their risk.
