The other units in the pediatric department became involved early in the development of the Safe Sleep Project. Inpatient Pediatrics is in a unique situation with regard to safe sleep, since the infants usually already have established sleeping patterns and are sick, unlike those in the Birthing Center. Teaching opportunities abound to:

  • provide safe sleep brochures, DVDs and information on blanket sleepers
  • reinforce teaching on safe sleep practices
  • reinforce importance of tummy time


At the same time, do not allow or endorse unsafe sleep practices while the infant is a hospital patient.
