October is SIDS Awareness Month, a time to learn, share, and support safe sleep practices for infants. Every family deserves the knowledge and tools to create a safe sleep environment. Let’s work together to reduce SIDS & support healthier futures. Visit: bit.ly/3TPhjsN

ALT This image is a poster for SIDS Awareness Month in October. It lists tips for reducing the risk of SIDS: always place a baby on their back to sleep, use a sleep sack or swaddle, put the baby in a crib with a firm mattress and no pillows or toys, and keep the environment smoke-free. Breastfeeding is highlighted as beneficial. The poster includes logos for Help Me Grow, DC Health, and the government of the District of Columbia. A picture of a baby sleeping in a crib is shown. Contact information for Help Me Grow is provided.

Emergency preparedness isn't just for the home.
As kids settle into their back‑to‑school routines, it's a great time to talk about school emergency plans. Help them pack a small emergency kit for their lockers or cubbies. Consider including a printed emergency contact list, a comfort item like a deck of cards or a favorite book, wipes or sanitizer, and any essentials specific to their needs.
