October is Infant Safe Sleep Month Awareness.

👶 Keeping your little one safe while they sleep is as easy as ABC! 💤

✨ A – Alone: Room-share, but don't bed-share. Avoid napping on couches or chairs with your baby.

✨ B – Back: Always place baby to sleep on their back to keep airways clear and open.

✨ C – Crib: Use a firm mattress in a safety-approved crib—free of blankets, bumpers, or plush toys. Use a wearable blanket or sleep sack instead!

Protecting your baby start with a safe sleep environment. Share this to help other parents keep their babies safe! 🍼🛏️❤️
