Web Content for Syndication

The Safe to Sleep® campaign offers a free and easy way to add accurate, up-to-date information on safe infant sleep and SIDS directly to your website. Syndication pulls Safe to Sleep® content into your website’s existing look and feel and updates the content automatically if any changes are made to the source information.

Because the content and graphics are developed by the federal government, they are in the public domain, meaning you can use these items without needing permission so.  

Here’s how to get the syndicated content: 

  • Create a free account at the HHS Syndication Storefront.
  • Sign in, browse, and choose your NIH health topics. 
    • Search “Safe to Sleep” to find syndicated pages from the campaign.
  • Add the code snippet to your site—the information on your site will update automatically when we update our page.
