Why BabySafe NZ®?

Every year too many babies and toddlers die from preventable causes such as SUDI (Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy), Shaken Baby Syndrome and unintentional injury. Understanding the risk factors that contribute to these causes can help prevent such a tragedy from happening to whānau.

We created BabySafe NZ with the goal of improving healthy outcomes for babies by transforming how education is provided and retained. Our commitment to putting baby safety front and centre informs everything we do.
