Keep Infants Safe While They Sleep

Michigan Department of Community Health Director Janet Olszewski discusses what parents and caregivers must do to ensure infants sleep safely.

Transcript:

In Michigan, most suffocated deaths for infants happened because of unsafe sleep environments.

Four out of five happened in an adult bed, waterbed, couch, or recliner.

My name is Janet Olszewski and I am the Director of the Michigan Department of Community Health.

Making sure your infant is safe is something every parent wants to do and this includes safety while they sleep.

Make sure your baby is happy and healthy. Place infants on their backs when they are sleeping. And don't share a bed with a baby.
