Safe Sleep

Having an appropriate place for your infant to sleep is crucial for their health and well-being. Bauer Family Resources has partnered with the ISDH to bring safe sleep environments to Indiana infants and to instruct our communities on how to create proper sleep settings. Our educational messages focus on three key risk reduction recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics and National Institutes of Health, which both state that infants sleep safest alone, on their backs and in a separate, safe sleep environment.

To receive assistance from our Safe Sleep program:

Mothers must be pregnant and within 4 weeks of the expected delivery date
