Viral Skit Highlights New Parents' Struggle with Safe Infant Sleep

New parents across Canada and the US are facing the daily challenge of ensuring their newborns sleep safely. A recent viral video by actress and writer Shawna Lander has highlighted this concern in a humorous yet informative way. The skit, filmed in what appears to be a home setting, shows two parents, played by Lander and an unseen partner, struggling to maintain their baby's correct sleep position in a car seat. The dialogue is filled with relatable anxieties and humorous misunderstandings. "I don't want to disturb her," says one parent, showcasing the common parental concern for their child's well-being. The video's lighthearted tone belies a serious message about positional asphyxiation, a risk associated with unsafe sleep positions for infants. The video's popularity underscores the need for continued education on safe sleep practices, ensuring the health and safety of newborns.
