As we continue to recognize National Infant Immunization Week, it is important to remember vaccines help protect individuals and communities by preventing and reducing the spread of infectious diseases.

Among children born during 1994-2018, vaccination will prevent an estimated 419 million illnesses, 26.8 million hospitalizations, and 936,000 deaths over their lifetimes, according to the CDC.

Congratulations, Jaelyn, on your graduation from the Help Me Grow Home Visiting program! 🎉🎉

October is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Awareness month. According to the CDC, about 3,500 infants died in the United States in 2014 of Sudden Unexplained Infant Death.

Current research supports the following recommendation for SIDS risk reduction:

Always place babies on their backs when putting them to sleep for naps and at night.
Use a firm sleep surface, such as a mattress in a safety-approved crib, covered by a fitted sheet.
Share your room with your baby, not your bed. Your baby should not sleep in an adult bed, on a couch, or on a chair alone, with you, or with anyone else.
Keep soft objects, such as pillows and loose bedding, out of your baby’s sleep area.
The risk of SIDS is even greater when a baby shares a bed with a smoker. To reduce risk, do not smoke during pregnancy, and do not smoke or allow smoking around your baby.
