Victory for families and safe sleep advocates! Last night, the U.S. Senate passed the Safe Sleep for Babies Act which bans infant inclined sleep products and padded crib bumper pads which have led to dozens of infant deaths. This bill passed in the U.S. House last year.

If lithium button batteries are swallowed, they can get stuck in the esophagus triggering a chemical reaction that can burn through the esophagus in just 2 hours! 🤯💔

Know where the batteries are in your home and secure them out of reach of children.… https://t.co/JRXoVQ3Bwf

@kpquinlan's team at @RushMedical worked with @UMengineering students who designed a device to simulate and measure the depression caused by an infant’s head to help determine the effect of bed softness on #SUID risk.
