Safe Sleep Program
The Crawford County Health Department is partnering with Cribs for kids® to provide Cribettes® and safe sleep education to eligible families (while supplies last). Cribettes® are certified as being compliant with Consumer Product Safety Commission standards and are part of a safe sleep kit that also includes a fitted sheet and safe sleep educational materials. To receive a kit, eligible families must also receive education on infant safe sleep practices and how to properly use the Cribette® for their baby.
Each year, approximately 3,500 babies in the U.S. die from sleep-related causes. Since the late 1990s, public health recommendations have encouraged placing babies on their backs to sleep to reduce this risk.
The Crawford County Health Department encourages all parents to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics’ safe sleep guidelines to help every baby sleep safely and grow up healthy. If you or someone you know is in need of a crib, please contact (608) 326-0229 or email publichealth@co.crawford.wi.gov
