Proud To Be A Cribs For Kids Safe Sleep Partner! – What’s Cribs for Kids?

From CribsforKids.org: The mission of Cribs for Kids® is to prevent infant sleep-related deaths by educating parents and caregivers on the importance of practicing safe sleep for their babies and by providing portable cribs to families who, otherwise, cannot afford a safe place for their babies to sleep.

Cribs for Kids has been advocating for safe sleep practices and educating parents and the public since 1998. This incredibly important work led them to become a nationally recognized non-profit in 2002 and while still keeping education at the forefront of the mission, the organization decided to help in a more concrete way- by making sure that every baby that needs one has a safe sleeping environment! This means actually distributing safe cribs and partnering with public safety community organizations through their National Public Safety Initiative. Let Mommy Sleep is PROUD to be a community partner!

1. Overnight Newborn Care: Certified providers have the expertise to provide your newborn or twins diapering, and soothing techniques.
2. Breastfeeding and Bottle Feeding Support: Non judgmental guidance and evidence based support for you, whatever feeding methods are used.

Proud To Be A Cribs For Kids Safe Sleep Partner! – The Importance of Safe Sleep Partners

In a time where there’s no license to care for infants, Let Mommy Sleep’s partnership with Cribs for Kids is a testament to our dedication to providing the highest standards of newborn care. Being a Cribs for Kids Safe Sleep Partner means we’re fully committed to ensuring the safest sleep environment for your baby. Further, in a time where social media can muddy the educational waters, we actively promote evidence-based education and awareness regarding safe sleep practices. As partners, we’re able to promote evidence-based safe sleep practices to a wider audience of expecting and new parents.

Lastly, as we always say, Just because they sell it, doesn’t mean it’s safe! There are so many products on the market that are not safe for infant sleep. In fact, baby gear such as loungers, sleepers and swings which place baby on an incline can cause a risk of suffocation. This is due to the incline at which baby is placed; their airways can become blocked if they lean forward. For this reason, the only safe sleep environment for baby is alone on their backs on a firm, flat mattress free of toys, blankets or other items.
