Milwaukee Health Department Cribs for Kids Program


About the Program

The City of Milwaukee Health Department became an official Cribs for Kids® site in May 2009. Our Cribs for Kids® program provides Milwaukee families with Pack ‘n Plays® to help reduce deaths due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and unsafe sleep. Pack ‘n Plays® is provided to families who cannot purchase one and are referred by a community professional such as a case worker or nurse.

 

Safe Sleep Classes

Schedule:

  • Southside Health Center (1639 S. 23rd Street)
    Multipurpose Room
    • 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month: 10 a.m. - 12 p.m.
    • 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month: 2 - 4 p.m.

Pack ‘n Plays® are used because they are portable and can be taken wherever the baby needs to be cared for.  Before a family is given a Pack ‘n Play®, Cribs for Kids® provides education and training on proper sleep position and sleep environment for the baby.
