HALO Safe Sleep from the Start Campaign & 2 Giveaways!

HALO Innovations is dedicated to putting the health, safety, and well-being of babies first. It’s no surprise that their SleepSack Swaddles can be found in over 1400 hospitals nationwide.  The HALO Safer Way to Sleep In-Hospital Program replaces nursery blankets with HALO SleepSack Swaddles, helping to increase parent education about safe sleep practices from from the start.

We used both the SleepSacks and the Swaddles with both of our children–in fact, we’re still using the SleepSacks.  The entire range of HALO products, including HALO SleepSacks and SleepSack Swaddles, SwaddeSure and the best-selling HALO Bassinest^TM Swivel Sleeper, help children from newborn to toddler age sleep better and safer.

Until July 26th, HALO is running a “Safe Sleep from the Start” campaign on Facebook where you have a chance to win a free HALO Bassinet and HALO SleepSack.  Check out HALO’s list of safe sleep practices below, and then head here to enter their giveaway:  https://gleam.io/fbg/J80oL.

Safe Sleep Tips

Always

• Place baby to sleep on his or her back at naptime and at night time.
• Use a crib that meets current safety standards with a firm mattress that fits snugly and is covered with only a tight-fitting crib sheet.
• Remove all soft bedding and toys from your baby’s sleep area (this includes loose blankets, bumpers, pillows, and positioners).  The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests using a wearable blanket instead of loose blankets to keep your baby warm.
• Offer a pacifier when putting baby to sleep.  If breastfeeding, introduce pacifier after one month or after breastfeeding has been established.
• Breastfeed, if possible, but when finished, put your baby back to sleep in his or her separate safe sleep area alongside your bed.
• Room share, but don’t bed share.  Bed sharing can put a child at risk of suffocation.

Never

• Never put your baby to sleep on any soft surface (adult beds, sofas, chairs, water beds, quilts, sheep skins etc.)
• Never dress your baby too warmly for sleep; keep room temperature 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Never allow anyone to smoke around your baby or take your baby into a room or car where someone has recently smoked.
