There isn’t much more calming or peaceful than a sleeping baby sleep. But the Department of Children and Family Services wants parents to be reminded that there is a safe way for babies to sleep. Suffocation while sleeping and SIDS are among the leading causes of death for babies under a year old. DCFS’s Jennifer Florent says to lower the risk of those two things happening babies need to sleep safe.

And Florent adds – keep that baby on its back when falling asleep.
