*Important information on SIDS and SUDI *

The sudden and unexpected death of an infant is one of the most
tragic events that a new family can experience.

I have introduced H.B. 47

which would establish a Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Education and
Prevention Program in the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Click

to hear my remarks at a recent House Health and Human Services
Committee hearing in Harrisburg./ /

The program would provide new parents with easy-to-understand
educational materials regarding SIDS, explaining risk factors and
preventative measures

including safe sleep practices, such as:

* Laying the baby on his or her back;
* Placing the child alone in an uncluttered crib with a firm
mattress covered in a tightly fitted sheet;
* Never putting the baby down in a parent’s or sibling’s bed.

Please pass this important information on to any new parents you may
know. And visit my Web site to sign the petition
