帕萨迪纳市启动“婴儿安全睡眠意识月” 推广ABC睡眠守则并提供免费培训
帕萨迪纳市公共卫生局将10月定为“婴儿安全睡眠意识月”，呼吁家长和照护者关注婴儿睡眠安全。该市称，“婴儿突发意外死亡”（SUID）是美国1至12个月婴儿的首要死因，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）数据显示，2024年全美约有3400名婴儿死于与睡眠相关的意外；过去十年间，帕萨迪纳本地共记录8例此类死亡。
市府推广“ABC”安全睡眠守则：A（Alone）——婴儿应独自睡在自己的睡眠空间里，不与成人或其他儿童同床；B（Back）——每次睡觉都让婴儿仰卧；C（Crib）——使用符合安全标准的婴儿床、摇篮或游戏床，床面平坦坚实，只铺合身的床单，不放枕头、毛毯、毛绒玩具或床围等软物。
帕萨迪纳市与“Cribs for Kids”组织及帕萨迪纳儿童健康基金会合作，为有需要的家庭提供便携式婴儿床，并开设“安全睡眠101”（Safe Sleep 101）虚拟课程。这堂约45分钟的线上课讲授如何为婴儿布置安全的睡眠环境，完成全部课程的帕萨迪纳居民可获赠襁褓、可穿戴睡袋、连体衣和育儿手册等婴儿用品。

Pasadena Launches Infant Safe Sleep Awareness Month With ABC Guidance and Free Training
The Pasadena Public Health Department has designated October as Infant Safe Sleep Awareness Month, drawing attention to safe sleep practices for parents and caregivers. The city says sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) is the leading cause of death for babies aged 1 to 12 months in the United States; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data show about 3,400 sleep-related infant deaths nationwide in 2024, and Pasadena has recorded eight such deaths over the past decade.
The city promotes the “ABCs” of safe sleep: A for Alone — babies should sleep in their own sleep space, not in bed with adults or other children; B for Back — babies should be placed on their backs for every sleep; and C for Crib — use a safety-approved crib, bassinet or play yard with a firm, flat surface and a fitted sheet only, with no pillows, blankets, stuffed toys or bumper pads.
Pasadena is partnering with Cribs for Kids and the Pasadena Child Health Foundation to provide portable cribs to families in need, and offers a virtual “Safe Sleep 101” class. The roughly 45-minute online class teaches how to set up a safe sleep environment; Pasadena residents who complete the full class receive infant items including a swaddle, a wearable blanket, a onesie and a parenting handbook.
For information and registration, contact the Pasadena Public Health Department's Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health program at 800-304-0015 or [email protected]; the class registration form is at bit.ly/SafeSleepForm. (Based on the City of Pasadena announcement)
