Every year, around 3,500 babies in the United States die suddenly and unexpectedly while they're sleeping. Most of these tragic deaths are due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or accidental deaths from suffocation or strangulation.

The Nevada AAP has partnered with the Southern Nevada Health district to reduce the rate of weight gain for children who are overweight while allowing normal growth and development. We are achieving this goal though the evidence-based 5-2-1-0 program.
