Submission Description:
Rooming- in and skin to skin for mother and baby is a well-established best practice; however, recent literature suggests this model of care poses a risk for infant falls. While promoting skin to skin is important, staff are challenged to maintain infant safety and ensure safe sleep practices are followed. A comprehensive safe sleep program was created that focused on infant safe sleep practices both inpatient and at home.
