An infographic titled “Safe Sleep for Your Baby” explains the importance of safe infant sleep practices to reduce deaths from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related causes. It states that about 3,500 infants die suddenly and unexpectedly each year in the U.S., with most deaths linked to unsafe sleep. The Safe to Sleep® campaign, launched in 1994 (formerly Back to Sleep), aims to educate caregivers and health providers about reducing SIDS risk. A pie chart shows that the percentage of infants placed on their backs to sleep increased from 17% in 1993 to 73% in 2010. A bar chart shows SIDS deaths dropped from 4,073 in 1994 to 1,500 in 2016, while other sleep-related infant deaths rose from 903 to 1,500. The infographic notes that the U.S. SIDS rate dropped by over 50% between 1994 and 2016. It offers three key safe sleep recommendations: 1. Always place baby on their back to sleep. 2. Share your room (but not your bed) with the baby. 3. Use a firm, flat mattress in a safety-approved crib with only a fitted sheet. At the bottom are logos for the Safe to Sleep® campaign, the NIH, and social media icons, along with the website: http://safetosleep.nichd.nih.gov.

So much winning for the President, the Secretary of HHS and the Director of the NIH...2000 or so little children could die because this program has been terminated.
Sudden unexpected infant death #SIDS has jumped by 11% in the US.
Reasons include #COVID19 and social media #misinformation.

A woman in a child's bedroom kicking a pillow in the face. There are dozens of pillows with scary faces attacking her. The pillows are trying to get into the baby's crib. The text reads: Camryn! What is going on up there?!; Camryn replies, Sky! The pillows are alive! They're trying to get into the crib! They're going to create an unsafe sleep environment for the baby! Always lay your baby down to sleep flat on their back without pillows or blankets. Keep cords at least 3ft away from a baby's sleep environment at all times.
#ClearTheCrib to create a safe sleep area for baby!
Don’t add pillows or blankets to your baby’s sleep space.
Don’t leave your baby unsupervised in products that aren’t designed for safe sleeping.
