Parents Corner of Information & Activities

Each year, every staff member caring for children under two must have training in Recognizing and Preventing Shaken Baby Syndrome, Preventing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and Understanding Early Childhood Brain Development. Listed below are tips on how we can reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome:

·         Place infants on their backs for sleep. This includes naps. Do not place infants on their stomach to sleep.

·         Place baby on a firm tight-fitting mattress in a crib that meets current safety standards.

·         Do not place baby on a water bed, sofa, bean bag, soft mattress, foam padding, or pillow to sleep.

·         Use no soft bedding, pillows, sheepskins, stuffed toys, or other soft items in the crib.

·         Make sure the baby’s head remains uncovered during sleep.

·         Avoid over-heating the baby. The temperature in the room should feel comfortable to an adult. Overdressing the baby should be avoided.

·         Keep the baby in a smoke free environment.
