Each crib, mat or cot is occupied by only one infant at time. LPA observed 5 cribs with draped Muslin Blankets and staff report that they use them to cover and swaddle sleeping infants. Staff physically checks on sleeping infants every fifteen minutes but do not document any signs of distress which includes but is not limited to flushed skin color, increase in body temperature, restlessness and labored breathing. Individual Infant Sleeping Plan is not completed and on file for each infant up to 12 months of age (infant #8).
