A Trick for Parents

 

A trick you can give parents and caregivers to help them remember the SafeSleep360° rules is to remember the acronym BABY.

  

Blue Wooden block B is for baby to be on their BACK as this is the best place for baby to sleep.

 

 Wooden A blockA is for the baby to be ALONE, meaning not be sleeping with any other adults, infants, siblings, or pets.

 

Purple wooden block  B is for baby to have plenty of room to BREATHE. There should be no obstructions in their sleeping area such as blankets, bumper pads, toys or stuffed animals. 

 

 Red wooden Y blockY is for YES to healthier habits, meaning as caseworkers you need to help increase and promote that breastfeeding is best and healthier for baby. You also need to promote tummy time for the baby as this helps with the baby's development and muscle strength.  

 

You, as the caseworker, are the one who will be able to get the message about SafeSleep360° to the parents and caregivers. Remember all you have learned in this training today and ensure that you are ready to pass this knowledge on!
