Infant safety projectcatholic charities-diocese of tyler initially established the infant safety project to help combat sudden infant death syndrome (sids). Infants must have a safe place to sleep. With no crib or bassinet of their own, infants may be more susceptible to sids. Without a crib, mothers may be prone to placing a newborn in bed with them to sleep. Also problematic is placing a new infant in bed with siblings. If the baby is unable to move about and breathe freely in their own space, the child may be vulnerable to sudden infant death. The program also includes car seats for safe travel. Approximately 400 families are served each year.
