Did you know that Early Intervention (EI) is a free federal program that helps infants and toddlers (birth to age 3) who have a disability, developmental delay, or are at risk for developmental delays?

Early Intervention provides support and services to help children reach important developmental milestones while empowering families with the tools and resources they need to support their child’s growth and learning.

Research shows that early support can improve long-term outcomes and may reduce the need for special education services later on.

Wondering if your child is eligible? A FREE Early Intervention screening can help determine if your child may benefit from services.

Ana Connery of Consumer Reports is warning parents and caregivers that baby loungers continue to pose serious safety risks for infants, even as new federal safety standards take effect.

According to the CPSC, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, many infant loungers, including support cushions, are still associated with infant deaths and injuries. These products can create risks of suffocation, entrapment, and falls, particularly when used for sleep.

If you own a baby lounger, remember that it should NEVER be used as a sleep space for your baby. Babies should sleep:

-(A)lone, NO blankets, pillows, bumpers, or stuffed animals
-on their (B)ack to sleep
-in a (C)rib with a firm, flat sleep surface
-and in a (S)moke-free environment

In addition, SIDS of IL does not recommend baby loungers for infant sleep. Products with soft padding, raised sides, or pillow-like surfaces do not meet CPSC safe sleep recommendations and can increase the risk of sleep-related infant death.

Just because something is widely sold or trusted doesn’t mean it’s risk-free. Popular doesn’t always equal safe; always stay informed💙
