Safe Infant Sleep

A pregnant mother and her mother, soon to be a grandmother, enter a baby’s nursery at home. A crib is in the room.

Mother: Well, it’s just a start. We have a lot of decorating to do to make it just right.
The grandmother gestures toward the crib.Grandmother: It’s perfect! And you already have the crib.
The mother and grandmother continue talking.Mother: Mom, this is important. You’ve heard of SIDS, right?

Grandmother: Oh, yes. That’s when a baby dies unexpectedly during sleep and doctors can’t find an explanation.

Mother: Right. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
GRAPHICS SLIDE:

Flashback to a birthing and infant care class. The mother and father are seated with a group of other parents. At the front of the classroom, a woman lowers a baby into a crib without anything in it except a fitted sheet.

Type comes up on bottom of screen: “Follow safe sleep recommendations until baby is one year of age.”
At our birthing classes, we learned there are a lot of different things we need to do to reduce the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death.
