October is SIDS Awareness Month, and today, MomsWhoSave has some important information and a new giveaway from a company that is devoted to preventing SIDS.

HALO Innovations, Inc. is sponsoring our giveaway, and was founded by William Schmid after he lost his daughter to SIDS. HALO makes products like the SleepSack Wearable Blanket to help keep babies safe. With the SleepSack, your baby stays warm at night without blankets, since loose blankets in the crib increase the risk of SIDS.

Other tips to help prevent SIDS include:

*placing your baby to sleep on their back at naptime and bedtime
*keeping the crib free of bumpers, soft toys, and loose blankets
*only putting your baby to sleep on a firm mattress with a tight-fitting sheet, not on a sofa, quilt, waterbed, chair, etc.
*not smoking or bringing your baby into a smoky environment
*not dressing your baby too warmly, and keeping their room between 68-72 degrees *when your baby is awake and supervised, give them plenty of "tummy time" to allow them to strengthen their upper body

Today I’m excited to announce a new giveaway! MomsWhoSave has partnered with the One2One network to offer one lucky reader Harry Connick Jr.’s latest CD “Your Songs.”

I got a CD to review, and being a Harry Connick, Jr. fan, I was happy to give it a listen. To be honest though, I know Harry Connick mostly from his acting roles in movies and television (like Graces’s husband in Will and Grace). I’ve also seen him interviewed several times, and know he’s a devoted dad and has been very involved in helping out in the effort to rebuild New Orleans.

Already being a fan, I assumed I’d like the CD, and I did. If you like Harry Connick, Jr., you’ll enjoy the CD, and here’s why: he’s got a great voice, and the songs on this CD are songs you likely already know and love. The songs are Harry’s take on classics from artists like Frank Sinatra, The Carpenters, Elvis Presley, and more. Check out the complete playlist, and purchase the CD if you'd like, here.

Want even more information about Harry Connick, Jr.? Check out these links:
