ST. PAUL– Infant Safe Sleep Week is this week, and state health officials are encouraging parents to know the ABCs of safe sleep.
Infants should sleep or nap alone, they should be placed on their back to sleep, and babies should always sleep in their own safe crib or play yard without blankets or pillows.
New data show unsafe sleep environments account for nearly all unexpected infant deaths in the state.
Of the 90 SIDS-related deaths in 2016 and 2017, 82 percent were sleep-related.
