October · Infant Safe Sleep Month
Safer nights, from the very first one.
Every October, the AAP marks Infant Safe Sleep Month — a reminder that the smallest bedtime choices, made consistently, are among the most important things a parent does in the first year. Kiri has partnered with HALO to bring you 31 pediatrician-aligned safe-sleep articles, organized by your baby's age.
Why we're doing this together
HALO has spent 30+ years focused on one thing: helping babies sleep safely. Their SleepSack wearable blankets, breathable BassiNests, and DreamWeave mattresses are used by hospitals and families across the country.
Kiri turns everyday sleep tracking into pediatric guidance you can actually use. Combining HALO's safe-sleep expertise with Kiri's data-driven insights gives new parents both sides of the picture — the environment your baby sleeps in, and how that sleep is actually going.
For newborns (0–3 months)
Start here if your baby is under three months. Foundational safe-sleep guidance from HALO for the earliest weeks — swaddling, room-sharing, back sleeping, and dressing your baby for sleep.

As your baby grows, safe sleep evolves. Rolling, sleep regressions, transitioning out of the bassinet, and when it's finally safe to introduce a blanket.
