The Boppy Company Introduces the Safe Sleep Guardian Program with First Candle for Baby Safety Month
GOLDEN, Colo. (PRWEB) September 20, 2018 -- Every year, approximately 3700 infants die due to sleep-related deaths, with the majority of these being preventable if the Safe Sleep Guidelines developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics had been followed.
The new program is focused on sharing these life-saving guidelines with bloggers, influencers, and other key outlets to help end Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related infant deaths.
“We are grateful for the ongoing work that First Candle does to educate new and expectant parents on the importance of providing a safe sleep environment for their baby,” says Nancy Bartley, CEO, The Boppy Company, “As a long-time brand partner with First Candle, we are honored that Boppy is an inaugural recipient of First Candle’s Safe Sleep Guardian badge. We are committed to continuing to only show photos of babies in safe sleep environments.”
Boppy® has been an advocate for infant’s safety for the last three decades, offering parents innovative nursing and play solutions alongside helpful parenting resources.
To join Boppy® as one of First Candle’s Safe Sleep Guardians, interested parties must commit to only posting images of babies in safe sleep situations. For more details on what types of photos qualify, visit First Candle’s website.
