Safe Sleep Practices are Key

The CDC reports about 3,500 sleep-related deaths among U.S. babies each year. According to CDC Director, Brenda Fitzgerald M.D.₂, “unfortunately, too many babies in this country are lost to sleep-related deaths that might be prevented. We must do more to ensure every family knows the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendations.”

First Choice for Women is doing exactly that with its Safe Sleep Program! First Choice not only teaches parents/guardians the AAP recommendations for proper sleep practices, they also provide a brand new crib and mattress sets or a pack-n-play to ensure that babies have a safe place to sleep!
