Baltimore City Health Department

The Health Department in partnership with the national non-profit organization First Candle/SIDs Alliance began the ABC’s of Safe Sleep Initiative in 2005.  Together with community partners, the Health Department is promoting the life-saving message that an infant sleeps safest alone, on his/her back, in a crib.  The initiative distributes educational onesies (t-shirts) as part of safe sleep counseling, and is raising funds to purchase cribs for families in need.  Onesies can be purchased at www.firstcandle.org, or click on the onesie below to download an order form with proceeds supporting cribs for Baltimore families.

If your are pregnant or have a young infant and need information on Safe Sleep or how to get a free crib, call (410) 649-0526.
