Safe Sleep Awareness Month: three steps to keep babies safe during sleep

Oct 06, 2026

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.
