Sometimes the scariest conversations are the most important to have. "Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID), which includes Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), is the leading cause of injury death in infancy"
Since we have recently expanded our ages of care to infants, it is a priority for me to share evidence-based research on safe sleep practices. Our goal is to provide the safest possible sleeping practices while also sharing our resources with the community. I have tagged some articles below:

Research has found that placing your baby to sleep on their back greatly reduces the risk of sudden and unexpected death in infancy (SUDI), which includes SIDS.
