As parents, we want to provide the best care for our children. This means having the most accurate information to make the best decision for our families. The CDC is constantly updating information that can help stop common myths. Is it safe to get a COVID-19 vaccine if you want to have a baby? The answer is YES.

Organizations such as Family Voices, Inc. (National) are providing FREE resources so that you and your family can stay up-to-date on COVID-19. #FVVaccineOutreach

It's #SIDSAwarenessMonth! How safe-sleep savvy are you?

In the U.S., Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), suffocation, and other sleep-related causes claim approximately 3,600 babies every year.

Learning about #SIDS and safe sleep for babies is important for all caregivers, not just for parents. Providers, healthcare professionals, and advocates can use this short, interactive quiz to engage caregivers in conversations about safe sleep and breastfeeding recommendations.

NICHQ is committed to making infant safe sleep and breastfeeding the national norm. Help us spread the word about the importance of creating a safe sleep environment and learn how you can support parents and caregivers with resources and strategies to reduce the risk of SIDS: https://bit.ly/3AiaD6j
