NICHD Blogs about Safe Infant Sleep on Parents.com

Shavon Artis, Dr.P.H., M.P.H., coordinator of the NICHD-led Safe to Sleep® campaign, recently published a blog post on safe infant sleep environments for the Parents Magazine website.

The site invited Dr. Artis to publish the piece as the NICHD marks the campaign’s 20th anniversary.

In the post, Dr. Artis explains how to create a safe infant sleep environment and quotes parents who have adopted the safe sleep recommendations to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related causes of infant death.
