Join the Labor of Love Summit on November 13, 2014, missioned to educate families, provide resources for new parents, and promote dialogue about SIDS and safe sleep practices. Our goal is to distribute the book "Sleep Baby, Safe and Snug" to every newborn's parent or caregiver in the United States. Help us in our outreach efforts as we have already distributed over 450,000 books in 33 states. Together, let's establish best practices, implement safe sleep policies, and provide safe sleep alternatives to at-risk parents. Participate in the annual charity run in September to support local hospital maternity services and save lives.
