To build on the AAP’s (American Academy of Pediatrics) 1990s ‘Back to Sleep’ campaign, Breathe Easy Baby™ is launching The Breath of Life Initiative—a first-of-its-kind effort to combat misleading breathability claims and protect infants from suffocation risks.


Every year, thousands of babies in the U.S. tragically lose their lives to suffocation—an entirely preventable cause of infant death. Breathe Easy Baby™, a Michigan-based company, is committed to ensuring the safety of infants by eliminating suffocation risks through innovation and advocacy.
Our highly breathable crib mattress provides a constant exchange of fresh air, ensuring that even if a baby rolls onto their tummy while sleeping face-down, they can still breathe safely. Our mission is simple: to eradicate suffocation-related infant deaths once and for all.
Recent scientific research has confirmed that highly breathable crib mattresses are a significantly safer alternative to non-breathable or air-impermeable crib mattresses. Despite this, numerous so-called “breathable” sleep products have entered the market, many of which lack proven effectiveness. This has led to misleading claims that put infants at risk.
To combat this issue, Breathe Easy Baby™ has been actively working with regulatory agencies for several years to establish breathability guidelines. In response, the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) has formed a subcommittee focused on developing breathability standards for all infant sleep products.
However, it could take years before these regulations are enacted. Meanwhile, infant suffocation deaths continue at the same alarming rate they have since the mid-1990s. This tragic reality demands immediate action.
Highly breathable crib mattresses have been scientifically proven to be safer than non-breathable or air-impermeable crib mattresses. They provide a constant exchange of fresh air, reducing the risk of COâ‚‚ rebreathing and suffocation.
Many so-called “breathable” sleep products have entered the market without scientific validation. Unproven and questionable claims mislead parents and put infants at unnecessary risk.
Breathe Easy Baby™ has been actively working with regulatory agencies to establish clear breathability guidelines. The ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) has formed a subcommittee dedicated to setting breathability standards for infant sleep products.
It may take years for formal regulations to be enacted. Meanwhile, infant suffocation deaths continue at the same alarming rate they have since the mid-1990s. Immediate action is needed to protect babies now.

Through this initiative, we propose the State of Michigan’s first Breath of Life Certification—a trusted verification that ensures only truly breathable infant sleep products receive official recognition.
This certification will empower parents to make informed and safe choices when selecting sleep products for their babies. It will serve as a gold standard in infant sleep safety, ensuring that every certified product has undergone rigorous testing.
Infant suffocation is a preventable tragedy, and we must act now to stop it. Breathe Easy Baby™ is leading the charge, but we need your support—whether you’re a parent, caregiver, healthcare provider, or policymaker, you can help make a difference.
Let’s work together to protect our most vulnerable and ensure every baby gets the Breath of Life.
Breathe Easy Baby is dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of infants through innovative products and educational initiatives. Our commitment is rooted in the understanding that a safe sleep environment is essential for every child, and we strive to empower parents with the knowledge and tools they need to protect their little ones.
With a focus on high-quality, breathable crib mattresses and advocacy against misleading safety claims, Breathe Easy Baby aims to be a trusted resource for parents. Our mission extends beyond selling products; we are here to create a community that prioritizes infant safety and well-being.
Infant suffocation is a critical issue that continues to affect families across the country. Understanding the various factors that contribute to suffocation risks can help parents make informed decisions about their baby's sleep environment. Common causes include improper bedding, positioning, and the use of unsafe sleep products.
By educating parents about these risks, we can work together to reduce the incidence of suffocation. Awareness of safe sleep practices, such as placing infants on their backs to sleep and using breathable materials, is crucial in preventing tragic outcomes.
Breathability in infant sleep products is a vital feature that can significantly reduce the risk of suffocation. Products designed with airflow in mind allow for a safer sleep environment, ensuring that even if a baby rolls onto their stomach, they can still breathe easily. This is where our Breath of Life Certification comes into play, distinguishing truly breathable products from those that may not meet safety standards.
Research indicates that breathable materials can help maintain air quality and temperature, contributing to a more comfortable sleep for infants. Parents should look for certifications and testing results to ensure they are choosing the safest options for their children.
Selecting the right sleep products for your baby can be overwhelming, given the vast array of options available. To make the best choice, parents should prioritize products that meet safety standards and have undergone rigorous testing for breathability and overall safety.
Look for certifications from reputable organizations, such as the ASTM, which ensure that products have been evaluated for their effectiveness in preventing suffocation. Additionally, consider the materials used in the products, opting for those that are free from harmful chemicals and designed specifically for infant safety.
