BESST History
BESST was originally developed in 2005 with funding from Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation and the C.J. Foundation for SIDS. The two-hour training addresses everything from proper sleep positioning (placing baby on her back) to what to look for in a safe crib and the link between secondhand smoke and SIDS. BESST also teaches the safest way to tuck a blanket for baby's bedtime warmth and cautions against bed sharing.

Training activities are interactive and incorporate cultural sensitivity to address the issue of the health disparity in infant mortality, including SIDS. BESST Kits are also available in Spanish.
