Caring Causes: Keeping Babies Safe

Keeping Babies Safe, a national non-profit organization, dedicated to crib safety has announced a new charitable partnership with Go Mama Go Designs.

Keeping Babies Safe, through its "Be Smart About Safe Sleep"™ campaign, educates hospitals, health care personnel, doctors, retailers and manufacturers by disseminating the latest crib and sleep safety information so that parents, grandparents, and other caregivers are properly educated on crib safety before they purchase nursery products. 

Davis, who lost a son due to the use of a supplemental mattress that was advertised as suitable and safe for her portable crib, co-founded Keeping Babies Safe in 2006.  Since that time the organization has been working with corporate, foundation, and individual donors to fund a multi-tiered campaign that includes:

• distributing "Safe Sleep (Environments) for Babies" educational videos and written materials in (English and Spanish) to parents;
• educating hospital personnel on safe crib and sleep practices, to pass this information directly to their patients;
• offering safe cribs to parents from economically-challenged environments throughout our partnered hospitals and clinics nationwide.  

Since inception, Keeping Babies Safe has donated more than 8000 cribs, and tens of thousands of educational materials to hospitals, and health and human service agencies across the country.  Keeping Babies Safe looks forward to expanding these efforts, in part through charitable sponsors in its "Be Smart About Safe Sleep"™ programs with organizations such as Go Mama Go Designs.
