The most recent information from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that more than 600 babies die each year from suffocation – that’s an average of about 2 children each day. To address this problem, Prevent Child Injury has created new resources and curated existing resources for a toolkit on the ABCs of safe sleep. These images are made available as part of that toolkit. The full toolkit is available here: www.preventchildinjury.org/toolkits//safe-sleep

Prevent Child Injury is a national coalition of injury researchers, public health professionals, child safety advocates, and others who care about kids. The coalition works to provide clear, concise messaging about child injury topics for parents and the public.
