Giving your baby a safe place to sleep is important. Safe sleep helps lower the risk of injury, breathing problems, and SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).

Sleep Safety ABC's 

Do not put your baby in your bed. He could roll out, or you could roll on top of him. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies sleep:

• Alone, in a crib or bassinet, in your room.
• On their Backs.
• In safe Cribs.

For more sleep safety tips, check out the First 5 California Parent Guide.

Live Beyond
Our past experiences don’t define us, but they can have a lasting impact on our mental and physical health and even our relationships. ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) are not our fault. We didn’t have control over when or why they happened, but we can live beyond ACEs and take steps toward healing. It begins with understanding how ACEs show up in our lives. And then we can start healing. Learn more or share your story at LiveBeyond.
