Community Education and Awareness

Infant Loss Resources provides trusted information and support to parents, grandparents, extended family members, and friends of newborn babies. We share the latest recommendations to promote infant health and reduce the risk of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) through personalized phone support, printed resources, educational materials, and community presentations.

In addition to family outreach, Infant Loss Resources sponsors community events and awareness campaigns to educate the public about:

• Safe sleep practices for babies

• SUID risk reduction strategies

• The importance of maintaining a smoke-free environment for infants

Through these efforts, we aim to empower caregivers and create safer environments for every baby.

Cribs for Kids/Pack-n-Play program Infant Loss Resources provides Pack-n-Plays (portable sleep environments) to parents and caregivers who do not have access to a safe place for their baby to sleep. This program helps reduce the risk of sleep-related infant deaths by ensuring families in need have access to safe sleep spaces.
