Child #2 was observed asleep on a pillow and with two blankets in a crib during the inspection.
Plan of Correction: Mother left instruction on 11/19 that Child #2 cannot lay flat due to respiratory issues. Informed mom we could not let him sleep in the swing or in a boppy pillow; and requested she ask the pediatrician for a wedge for the crib to insure elevation and safe sleep practices. Ms. Ashley spoke with the doctor directly, as doctor instructed mom to let the child sleep in the bouncer. Went over safe sleep practices with parents. Mother is working to get the wedge. Child will not return without the wedge. Also went over safe sleep practices with staff in the room to ensure this does not happen again; with a verbal warning given to the staff in that room.
