Sheffield Safe Sleep
Sheffield Children Safeguarding Partnership supports the advice of the @LullabyTrust and #SaferSleepWeek.The Lullaby Trust raises awareness of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), provides expert advice on safer sleep for babies, and offers emotional support for bereaved families.
As we approach the holiday season, please take account of these two resources to help guide you if you find yourself unable to follow your baby's normal sleep routine. Every sleep should be a safe sleep.
