Cribs For Kids

The education takes approximately 15 minutes or less to complete. Each bundle includes: a pack-n-play (safe place for baby to sleep), safe sleep education material, a children’s book, a pacifier, a sheet with a reminder to place the baby on its back and alone in the crib, and a sleep sack for the baby. 

Donations are accepted all year toward this program. Every $1 raised is matched by a federal grant the health dept. receives. The funds raised and matched by the health department then allows our community team to offer safe sleep education and statistics to parents-to-be or new parents and give each family a pack-n-play bundle.

Safe Sleep Kentucky is a statewide effort to raise awareness of and help inform parents and other child caregivers of the importance of safe sleep for babies. The effort seeks to prevent SIDS-related infant deaths by emphasizing ABCD, the four letters associated with the best practices to make sure infants sleep safely.

A is for Alone – Stay close, sleep apart.
B is for Back – On my back for night and naps.
C is for Crib – In a clean and clear crib.
D is for Danger – Be aware, not impaired. Drinking and drug use impair your ability to care for a baby, making bed-sharing and other unsafe sleep even more dangerous for the baby.
