Amid\r\nall that activity, it\u2019s also essential to consider how you\u2019ll keep your baby safe, especially when your bundle of\r\njoy is sleeping.\r\n\r\nParkview Wabash Hospital (PWB) is offering a free Safe Sleep class in 2025 that can help. The one-session\r\nclass equips parents, grandparents, babysitters, daycare employees and other infant caregivers with\r\ninformation and support so they can create a safe sleeping environment.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe are so pleased to be able to offer the Safe Sleep class to area residents as part of our Maternal\r\nOutreach Program,\u201d said Deb Potempa, market president, Parkview Health South. \u201cThanks to the generosity\r\nof donors through the Parkview Health Foundation, we can support parents in safeguarding their little ones\r\nduring that all-important first year.\u201d\r\n\r\nDid you know:\r\n\u2022 Babies should always be put to bed on their backs?\r\n\u2022 Babies should always sleep in a crib (or a safety-approved portable crib) by themselves, but\r\nwith mom nearby, for the first six months to a year?\r\n\u2022 No pillows, loose blankets or stuffed animals may be in the crib with baby because\r\nthey present a suffocation risk?\r\n\r\nAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2022, about 3,700 babies died\r\nsuddenly and unexpectedly in this country, usually in baby\u2019s sleeping area. To reduce the risk of SIDS\r\n(Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and accidental suffocation, the American Academy of Pediatrics,\r\nConsumer Product Safety Commission, Cribs for Kids, and the CDC provide specific recommendations for\r\ninfant sleep. PWB\u2019s Safe Sleep class covers these recommendations and other practical information in an\r\neasy-to-understand format with time for questions.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe want parents and other adults to be confident in their ability to keep their infant safe during sleep time,\u201d\r\nsaid Abby Tackett, RN, the maternal outreach nurse who leads the class. \u201cAnd if they see unsafe sleep\r\npractices, to feel empowered to speak up.\u201d\r\n\r\nTackett is a registered nurse and certified lactation specialist whose experience includes 14 years as a labor\r\nand delivery\/postpartum nurse.\r\n\r\n\u201cI am a mom myself with three young boys at home,\u201d she said. \u201cI understand how hard and wonderful and\r\nterrible and amazing this season of life is, and I want to help other parents.\u201d\r\n\r\nSafe Sleep class will take place from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at PWB on these Wednesdays: Feb. 19, May 21, Aug. 20\r\nand Nov. 19. Participants may register for the date of their choice. Parents who attend the class and do not\r\nhave a safe place for their baby to sleep will be able to receive a safety-approved portable crib.\r\n\r\nAlong with the Safe Sleep class, a Moms Group is also part of PWB\u2019s Maternal Outreach Program, which\r\nwas created to provide new mothers with the resources they need postpartum and beyond. Meeting every\r\nTuesday from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at the hospital, the Moms Group offers the opportunity to connect with other\r\nmoms, have baby weighed, ask an RN questions, get help with breastfeeding from a certified lactation\r\nspecialist, and enjoy light refreshments and a craft.\r\n\r\nPlans are also underway for partnerships with other community resources to provide classes for infant CPR,\r\ninfant massage and car seat safety.\r\n\r\nTo register for the Safe Sleep class or inquire about the Moms Group, call Abby Tackett at 260-569-2308 or\r\nemail Abigail.tackett@parkview.com.\r\n\r\nParkview Wabash Hospital is located at 10 John Kissinger Drive, just off U.S. 24 in Wabash.\r\n\r\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-91860\" src=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"776\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image001.jpg 776w, https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image001-300x79.jpg 300w, https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image001-768x203.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\" \/>\r\n<script  src=\"https:\/\/\/pagead\/js\/.js?client=0531879237494766\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2870348528\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     ( = window. || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n \r\n<script  src=\"https:\/\/\/pagead\/js\/?client=0531879237494766\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2870348528\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     ().push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WABASH, IN \u2013 When you\u2019re expecting a baby, there\u2019s a lot to think about \u2013 preparations to make, prenatal doctor\u2019s appointments to keep, names to consider and baby items to buy or borrow.
