🎆Happy 4th of July!
As you celebrate with family and friends, remember that Safe Sleep Matters.
Babies sleep safest Alone, on their Back, and in the Crib within a Smoke-Free environment. During these warm summer days, be sure not to overdress your baby or let them overheat. By keeping baby in a comfortable environment between 68-72 degrees may reduce the risk of infant sleep related deaths.

👀Be sure to check out our Safe Sleep Matters billboard in Inkster, MI at Michigan and West Middlebelt Road!

Together, we can help keep babies healthy and sleeping safe and sound.
