*What you can do to share the life-saving message
Created by the Safe Sleep Heroes Action Team 10, led by The MetroHealth System, University Hospitals, and Cleveland Clinic, part of the First Year Cleveland community movement to decrease infant mortality in the Greater Cleveland area and Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
For more than 50 years, infants in the Greater Cleveland area have been dying at a rate similar to many third-world countries. First Year Cleveland wants to change that. We are a community movement committed to ensuring that every baby born in Cuyahoga County will celebrate their first birthday.
Our 11 community-wide action teams are poised to tackle the challenges that contribute to infant mortality. We focus on addressing racial disparities, decreasing extreme prematurity and eliminating sleep-related deaths — proven strategies aimed to reduce (and sustain a low number of) infant deaths for decades to come.
Alarmed by what many considered an unsolvable problem, leaders representing every sector of the community came together in early 2016 and established First Year Cleveland to develop an effective, comprehensive and sustainable approach to solving infant mortality in our area.
Early efforts have been encouraging — proving that success is possible — but much more needs to be done to keep our babies alive and healthy so they can reach their first birthday. Join us as we work together to reach the national goal set by the CDC for infant mortality by 2020.

In 1990 Midwives became the lead maternity carers in New Zealand. There is a wonderful partnership with Women. Close to 90% of all expectant mothers have a continuity care midwife. Midwives respect 'choice' and help develop a Birth Plan for each pregnant woman.
The c-section rate has risen from 12.9% to close to 30% since 1990. Why is that? Simple really. There is absolutely NO societal expectation for expectant families to become skilled no matter where they birth, who is present and what happens.
Every expectant family should be specifically instructed to self-learn from at least one of the well know skills-based methods including Birthing Better Childbirth Preparation. Others are Lamaze, Bradley, Birth Without Fear, Calm Birth, Active Birth, Hypnobirthing/Hypnobabies.
Every appointment put into your notes what they want and don't want and which skill they've learned. By the time of the birth it will become clear whether the Birth Plan unfolds as desired or changes. The skills can be used no matter what! Encourage your clients to use the skills you've put in your notes. Praise and encourage!

Setting Them up for Failure: Why Parents Struggle to Adhere to Infant Safe Sl...JSI
This poster was presented by Christin D'Ovidio at the National Conference on Health Communication, Marketing & Media.
Each year in Vermont, 4-6 infants die of unsafe sleep environments. The Vermont Department of Health contracted with JSI Research and Training Institute, Inc. (JSI), to study the major barriers Vermont parents and professionals face with regard to infant safe sleep. The research examined: what parents know, have heard, or find confusing about infant safe sleep practices; decisions around infant safe sleep practice; and response to existing infant safe sleep materials.
Some of the major themes with implications for future
communication efforts included parents’ need to be respected as good and competent caregivers, the desire for information that addresses the unique sleep challenges in their family, and
a skepticism of infant safe sleep research and messaging.
Although parents are highly motivated to do what is best for their baby and are aware of the basic infant safe sleep guidelines, parents who struggle the follow the guidelines feel they must choose between sleep and safety, or adapt the guidelines as their version of “safe sleep.”These parents feel they are being set up for failure, due to a lack of guidance to get their baby to sleep in a safe sleep environment. Parents want assistance grounded in the reality of the challenges
and choices they face to get their babies to sleep while keeping
them safe.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the unexplained death of a seemingly healthy baby less than a year old, usually during sleep. Fulfill your licensing requirements for SIDS and crib safety with this 1-hour course. Participants will examine the best practices for safe sleep, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), and Shaken Baby. Explore prevention and risk factors, review strategies to support families, and promote protective factors. Participants will learn how to minimize the risk to children within their care.

DESCRIPTION
Reproductive life planning (RLP) is a client-based assessment of personal life goals to determine if and where childbearing fits in with education, family, relationships, work, and more. This assessment then informs the development of a flexible strategy to prevent or plan future pregnancies in order to successfully meet these goals.
However, getting patients to modify their health or sexual habits isn’t always easy. The practice of motivational interviewing (MI) is an effective catalyst for behavior change. MI is a quick, effective, client-centered counseling technique that allows clients to define their own goals and make their own choices by helping them identify what is personally meaningful and valuable in their own lives, and to act in ways that will help them meet their goals. Best of all, it works.
This full-day pre-conference workshop introduced participants to the core concepts of motivational interviewing, placed within the context of reproductive life planning, a process which allows individuals to make appropriate decisions regarding their sexual and reproductive health, desire to have children, and birth spacing.
Participants learned the basic techniques of motivational interviewing and discovered how to help clients assess their own goals, make a plan that will help them meet those goals, and find ways to overcome obstacles that may occur along the way.

12. A: Alone
Bed-sharing is NOT
recommended for ANY baby.
Your baby should be alone in
bed, without parents, siblings,
or other kids. Remove all
blankets, pillows, crib bumpers,
bedding and stuffed animals
from the crib. These items could
suffocate your baby.
13. B: On Their BACKS
Healthy babies naturally
swallow or cough up their
spit up, so your baby will
not choke if he’s on his
back.

14. C: In a CRIB
• It is important to sleep in an empty
crib and use a firm crib mattress
covered only by a fitted sheet.
Many parents feel that a soft
mattress will make their baby more
comfortable, but research shows
that soft surfaces can increase the
risk of sleep-related death.
• Car seats, swings, strollers, and
other baby gear are not intended
for routine sleep.
15. D: Don’t Smoke
• Secondhand smoke puts every baby
at risk
• We know cigarettes affect and build
up in a part of the baby’s brain that
helps them wake up (the arousal
center)
• Even nicotine or cigarette smoke on
hair or clothes can impact your baby
17. Be an Advocate for the Baby in YOUR Life
• Ask to see where your baby will sleep
• Make certain the crib is free of pillows, stuffed animals, bumper pads
and blankets
• Ask your caregiver or babysitter if he or she knows and practices the
ABCDs of Safe Sleep. When you know better, you can do better.
• Be sure the home is smoke-free
• Ask other parents and grandparents if they know where their baby
sleeps
• Be willing to be uncomfortable. Asking people not to smoke can be
hard. Your baby’s safety is worth it.
19. What Can I Do?
Be a champion in your community.
• Engage folks you know in the conversation about Safe Sleep
• Reach in! Talk with people where you live, play, work, worship and
shop
• Talk to grandparents, too
• Check on and support pregnant neighbors
• Share what you have learned today!

21. • Babies who breastfeed or are fed breast
milk are at lower risk for sleep-related
deaths than babies who were never fed
breast milk.
• The risk of a sleep-related death is
reduced by 45% with any breastfeeding
and 73% with exclusive breastfeeding
(AAP 2012 breastfeeding and the use of
human milk)

Breastfeeding Saves Babies
22. • Consider offering pacifiers at nap or bedtime
• Only AFTER breastfeeding is well
established
• Formula-fed babies may introduce
pacifiers as soon as family wishes
• New evidence from the American Academy
of Pediatrics shows pacifiers reduce risk of
sleep-related death even in breastfeeding
infants
Pacifiers Decrease Risk of
Sleep-Related Death
25. Review: Which of the Following Are Safe
Sleep Practices?
• Put the baby in an empty crib or pack ‘n play for every nap and sleep
time
• Place the baby on its back for sleep
• Don’t share a bed, couch or chair with the baby
• Don’t smoke
• All of the above
26. Review: Who Can Be a Safe
Sleep Hero?
• Parent
• Grandparent
• Babysitter or caregiver
• Neighbor
• Doctor or nurse
• Everyone in the community
• All of the above
27. Review: Safe Sleep is as
Simple as ABCD!
• A: Alone
• B: On their Back
• C: In a Crib
• D: Don’t smoke
Take the pledge: Know it. Share it. Do it!
