Dear Dads,

Happy Father’s Day! Thank you for helping your baby sleep safely. When it comes to safe sleep, you have the power to make a difference. Think of Baby Bear to help you remember:

B is for Back: Babies should be placed to sleep on their back.

E is for Empty: Cribs should be empty! No pillows, bumpers, blankets, or stuffed animals in it. Not even baby bears!

A is for Alone: Baby sleeps alone in the crib, not in the parents’ bed.

R is for Room: Share your room with your baby, not your bed.

S is for keeping baby away from smokers: No smoking, please!
