The Baltimore Sun: Baltimore to promote safe sleeping practices for babies

In a bid to cut Baltimore's high infant death rate, a new public health campaign is hammering home a message to prevent more loss: Babies should sleep alone on their backs in a crib.

Driving that message will be some poignant representatives: local mothers who have lost their children. Their faces will be on billboards and their voices will be in radio spots. There will be a video shown in maternity wards, some speaking and some door-knocking.
