October is Infant Safe Sleep Awareness Month. Illinois Department of Children and Family Services spokesperson Deborah Lopez says sleep deaths are avoidable. She added that infants should never sleep on an adult’s bed or couch. Last year in Illinois, 114 children under the age of one died as a result of unsafe sleep practices.
