‼️ For the first time in 5 years, the American Academy of Pediatrics has released updated baby safe-sleep guidelines. The organization urges the following to reduce the risk of suffocation or wedging/entrapment:🚼Infants be placed for sleep in a supine (back) position for every sleep by every caregiver until the child reaches 1 year of age; side sleeping is NOT safe and is not advised🚼Use a firm, flat, noninclined sleep surface (tightly fitting mattress in a safety-approved crib) covered by a fitted sheet with no other bedding or soft objects 🚼Keep soft objects, such as pillows, pillow-like toys, quilts, comforters, mattress toppers, fur-like materials, and loose bedding, such as blankets and non-fitted sheets, away from the infant’s sleep area to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), suffocation, entrapment/wedging and strangulation🚼It is recommended that infants sleep in the parents’ room, close to the parents’ bed, but on a separate surface designed for infants, ideally for at least the first 6 months; there is evidence that sleeping in the parents’ room but on a separate surface decreases the risk of SIDS by as much as 50%#safesleep #SIDS #SUID https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/… ...

From our Southern New Jersey COVID Response Program: the CDC recommends all children 6 months through 5 years of age should receive a COVID-19 vaccine. This expands eligibility for vaccination to nearly 20 million additional children and means that all Americans ages 6 months and older are now eligible for vaccination. Parents and caregivers can now get their children 6 months through 5 years of age vaccinated with the #pfizer or #moderna vaccines to better protect them from COVID-19. All children, including children who have already had COVID-19, should get vaccinated. COVID-19 vaccines have undergone—and will continue to undergo—the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history, per the CDC.#COVID #COVID19 #COVIDVaccine #VaxFacts ... See MoreSee Less
