Safe Sleep

Safe Sleep Kentucky - A statewide effort to raise awareness of and help inform parents and other child caregivers of the importance of safe sleep for babies. The effort seeks to prevent SIDS related infant deaths by emphasizing ABCD, the four letters associated with best practices for safe infant sleep:

A is for Alone – Stay Close – Sleep Apart.
B is for Back – On my back for night and naps.
C is for Crib – In a clean and clear crib.
D is for Danger – Be aware not impaired. Drinking and drug use impair your ability to care for a baby.
