October is Safe Sleep Month. 😴🛌🏻
Your baby’s sleep space matters!

To keep your little one safe while sleeping, remember the ABCs of Safe Sleep:
✅ Alone — no blankets, pillows, or toys
✅ Back — always place baby on their back
✅ Crib — use a crib, bassinet, or Pack ’n Play

💛 Safe sleep saves lives.

✅Acostado solo
✅Boca arriba sobre la espalda
✅En una cuna, moisés, o cuna corral sin almohadas, mantas, o juguetes

💛 Dormir de forma segura salva vidas.
