Safe sleep is SO important, and I'm a huge advocate for it having seen the grief on the other side many times. Today, on the podcast we have a safe sleep advocate who has also felt that grief.

Today's guest is Shayna Raphael. Shayna is an educational consultant in the Pacific Northwest where she lives with her husband. Together, they have had three beautiful daughters. Unfortunately, Shayna lost her second child to unsafe sleep at child care. Since that time, Shayna has become a fierce advocate for infant safety and founded a non-profit, The Claire Bear Foundation. She believes strongly, and knows first-hand, that safe sleep can save lives. I met Shayna on Tiktok where she is a FIERCE advocate, and a great resource for parents!

This episode was inspired by my post on SIDS precautions.
