September is National Baby Safety Month
National Baby Safety Month (NIAM) is an annual observance held in September to highlight the importance of keeping babies safe as they are growing and changing at a rapid pace. Keeping up with their developmental milestones and safety needs is important to keeping them growing and thriving.
Safe Sleep Practices
Until their first birthday, babies should sleep on their backs for all sleep times—for naps and at night. We know babies who sleep on their backs are much less likely to die of SIDS than babies who sleep on their stomachs or sides. The problem with the side position is that the baby can roll more easily onto the stomach. Some parents worry that babies will choke when on their backs, but the baby's airway anatomy and the gag reflex will keep that from happening. For a guide on Safe Sleep, click here.
Car Seat Safety
Car seats and boosters provide protection for infants and children in a crash, yet car crashes are a leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 13. That's why it's so important to choose and use the right car seat correctly every time your child is in the car. Follow these important steps to choose the right seat, install it correctly, and keep your child safe. To learn more about the right car seat for your child's age, height, and weight, click here.
Product Safety
There are thousands of products on the market that claim to keep children healthy and safe. However, this is not always true and in some cases the product may actually be harmful to your child. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission has several guides and resources you can use to help with your evaluation and research on the safety of various products and services.
