DO YOU KNOW THE ABC's OF SAFE SLEEP?
When putting a baby to sleep it is important to follow the ABCs of safe sleep.
Babies should be alone, on their backs and in an empty crib.
When we skip any of these steps, like letting them sleep in bed with us or with their favorite stuffed animal, we put our babies at risk.
And on average, nearly one baby dies every other week in our community due to these unsafe sleep practices.
Protect your baby by following the ABCs of safe sleep.

Neighbors 4 Neighbors is a non-profit organization 501 (c) 3 originally created by CBS4 in 1992 in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew. As South Florida recovered, CBS4 made a commitment to make Neighbors an integral part of its community service program. Using the power of television to reach people who want to help and by forging relationships with important community and business leaders, Neighbors has evolved into a valuable resource for individuals and families in our community facing critical needs.
