Based on observation, the center failed to stay in compliance with all safe sleep guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Evidence:
1. An infant was observed sleeping in a swing with a blanket in the Jungle Room. 2. The American Academy of Pediatrics state: -If your baby falls asleep in a car seat, stroller, swing, infant carrier or sling, you should move them to a firm sleep surface on their back as soon as possible. -Keep soft objects & loose bedding out of your baby's sleep area. These objects can increase your baby's risk of entrapment, suffocation or strangulation. This includes pillows and pillow-like toys, quilts, comforters, mattress toppers, non-fitted sheets, blankets, toys, bumper pads or related products that attach to crib slats or sides.
Plan of Correction:
All infant staff will be retrained in safe sleep requirements.
