  The Child Advocacy Center of Niagara recently launched a countywide campaign to promote safe sleep practices for infants and lower the incidence of deaths associated with unsafe sleep environments and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Implementing safe sleep practices for infants in a safe sleep environment can greatly reduce the risk of SIDS. Since 1992, when the American Academy of Pediatrics suggested placing babies on their backs to sleep alone in a crib, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome deaths have dropped 50 percents according to the National Institutes of Health.
