Safe Sleep for Babies
Newborn Safe Sleep
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SAFE INFANT SLEEPING ENVIRONMENT
- Always place your baby on his or her back for every sleep time. (Making babies sleep on their backs helps reduce their risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome)
- Always use a firm sleep surface. Car seats and other sitting devices are not recommended for routine sleep.
- The baby should sleep in the same room as the parents but not in the same bed (room-sharing without bed-sharing).
- Keep soft objects or loose bedding out of the crib. This includes pillows, blankets, and bumper pads.
- Wedges and positioners should not be used.
- Don’t smoke during pregnancy or after birth.
- Breastfeeding is recommended.
- You may offer a pacifier at nap time and bedtime.
- Avoid covering the infant’s head or overheating.
