Safe Sleep Awareness Month: three steps to keep babies safe during sleep
Hawaii health officials are pushing a safe-sleep campaign, and the message is hopeful: most sleep-related infant deaths can be prevented.
- Babies should always be placed on their back to sleep.
- Use a firm, flat surface — no inclines, couches, or soft bedding.
- Share a room with the baby, but not a bed.
- Parent Line Hawaii runs free workshops on safe sleep routines twice a month.
Outlook: The awareness push will keep running through the month, with free parent workshops available for families who want help setting up a safe sleep routine.
