Safe Infant Sleep

🎆 BABIES AND LOUD NOISES 🎆

Fireworks are about to become a nightly occurrence and we know it can be very disrupting to a child’s sleep, so here are some helpful tips:

🎆 Put noise machine closer to the window or door that the noise is coming from.
** Remember to ensure machines are at least 3 feet away from baby and cords are not accessible

🎆 Double up on white noise: Put another noise machine or fan outside the door.

🎆 Try to keep each sound machine at no more than 50 decibels. There are apps on smartphones that can check the levels.

🎆 Ensure there aren’t other stimuli in the room that would make it easier to wake. (Ex. Too bright)

🎆 If in a loud public place, please use infant noise cancelling ear muffs while holding them and supervising at all times.

If you don’t already have one or you don’t love the one you have and are popular options.

🚨 CooCooBaby Baby Loungers Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Suffocation and Fall Hazards 🚨

Hazard: The baby loungers violate the mandatory standard for Infant Sleep Products because the sides are shorter than the minimum side height limit to secure the infant; the sleeping pad’s thickness exceeds the maximum limit, posing a suffocation hazard; and an infant could fall out of an enclosed opening at the foot of the lounger or become entrapped. The portable loungers do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants, posing a risk of serious injury or death.

What: “Classic” and “Deluxe” CooCooBaby Baby Loungers. The recalled baby loungers are made of a foam sleeping pad and padded bumpers with a cloth cover and were sold in multiple styles and colors.

Where: CooCooBabyOfficial.com and Amazon.com from December 2024 through March 2026 for between $35 and $70.

Remedy: Stop using the baby loungers immediately and contact CooCooBaby for a full refund. Consumers should remove the sleeping pad, cut up the sides of the baby lounger and the sleeping pad and email a photo of the destroyed lounger to [email protected] to obtain a full refund issued to the original payment method.

🎉🎉 It’s the International Day of Play 🎉🎉

What better way to celebrate than by talking about one of the most important types of play for babies: tummy time!

✅ Awake tummy time is vital for infant development. It helps build strength, supports motor milestones, and even plays a role in helping babies learn to reposition themselves once they start rolling.

🚫 On the flip side, too much awake time on their backs, or in containers like loungers, swings, or car seats can delay these developments and reduce a baby’s ability to move freely.

“A systematic review of 16 articles from 8 countries showcased the importance of tummy time in respect to total infant development. Unfortunately, the evidence showed only 30%-75% of caregivers adhered to the recommendation. Many worried about placing their babies on a hard surface, which may explain why these soft pillow-like devices have become so popular over recent years.”

https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/145/6/e20192168/76940/Tummy-Time-and-Infant-Health-Outcomes-A-Systematic

Tummy time can start as soon as you get home after baby is born. Start with a few minutes and work up to 15 minutes a day minimum.
You don’t need anything fancy, you can just place baby down on the floor with or without a mat or blanket underneath them.

When it comes to sleep ALWAYS place baby down on their back, in a firm and empty sleep space, until they’re over 12 months of age, allowing them to move into the position they choose when they’re able to.

Today, we remember and honor those who never made it home.

Their sacrifice shaped generations they would never meet, futures they would never see, and freedoms too often taken for granted.

Gone, but not forgotten means more than remembrance once a year. It means carrying forward the weight of their service, their courage, and the lives they gave in protection of others.

Today, we pause to remember them and the families who continue to carry that loss every day.

Baby, it’s HOT outside! Here are some tips on how to dress baby appropriately because overheating is a big risk when it comes to infants.

You want to ensure they’re comfy, but not hot. Use their torso to gauge how warm they are, NOT their extremities. Baby hands and feet can be cold even when the rest of them isn’t, and typically isn’t an issue (but bring it up to your pediatrician if you’re worried).

Additional reminders:
❌ No loose bedding
❌ No tucked in blankets
❌ No hats or hoods inside or for sleep
❌ No weighted sleepwear

Happy Mother’s Day!

Feel free to share a motherhood memory you love, something you love about being a mother, and/or a favorite memory you have of your mother/mother-like figure.

Happy Star Wars Day!!

Even in a galaxy far far away, safety still matters.

CPSC warnings are just as important as recalls. They’re how the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission alerts the public to dangerous products when a company hasn’t agreed to a recall.

Not every hazard comes with a headline recall. Sometimes the warning is the warning sign.

Stay informed. Stay alert. And may the Force be with you

Today we honor the mothers whose love continues beyond what can be held.
Your babies are remembered. Always.

If you feel comfortable, you’re welcome to share your baby’s name below 💟
