Our team of Children’s doctors, nurses and public health experts have done the late nights, early mornings and sleep-deprived days with our own children, so we know how exhausting and impossible it can all feel. We also know—all too well—how devastating the consequences of unsafe sleep practices can be.

Unsafe sleep is the leading preventable cause of death in children under 1 year old. We want to change that.
