Research shows that unsafe sleep areas, including non-fitted sheets, blankets, or stuffed toys, remain a leading cause of infant death. Download this toolkit to help raise awareness about safe infant sleep in your community. Safe to Sleep® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
