Safe Sleep Awareness

Each year over one hundred infants die in Michigan because of where and how they are placed for sleep.

On March 5, 6, and 7, 2010, in celebration of Parenting Awareness Month and to raise awareness of these totally PREVENTABLE deaths, Washtenaw Area Council for Children and Safe Kids Huron Valley will be hosting a display table of information during mall hours for new and expecting parents, and others at Briarwood Mall near the JC Penney mall entrance.
Included will be demonstrations of safe and unsafe sleep environments, important handouts on how to safely sleep your baby, and someone to answer questions. We will also be holding a drawing for a FREE Graco Pack 'n Play portable crib, courtesy of Safe Kids Huron Valley. Also, highlighted will be other infant mortality information in an effort to reduce infant death in Washtenaw County.

For more information please contact info@washtenawchildren.org or call the Council office at 734-434-4215.
