We observed increases in safe sleep knowledge and that some participants followed safer sleep practices than they had planned. However, there were also participants who planned to use safe sleep practices prenatally who were not doing so after their baby's birth. Our study identified demographics for which targeted safe sleep education and more effective interventions may be needed.
