Safe Sleep Best Practices

The following guidelines can help create a safe sleep zone for baby, you can download the

complete Safe and Sound Sleep Guide for additional safe sleep best practices:
 

          • Always place your baby to sleep on his or her back at nap and nighttime.
          • Remove all soft or loose bedding, blankets and toys from crib. Never place additional padding under an infant.
          • Use a wearable blanket or a sleeper instead of blankets.
          • Do not dress your baby too warmly for sleep.
          • Do not allow anyone to smoke near your baby.
          • Throughout the first year, consider offering a pacifier when he or she is falling asleep.
          • Do not put your baby to sleep on any soft surface (sofa, chair, waterbed, quilt, blanket, sheepskin, etc).
          • Room sharing is recommended vs. bed sharing.
          • Having your baby in a separate sleeping environment is recommended to avoid rolling over or suffocation.
          • Check your crib for safety and use a crib that meets current safety standards with a firm, tight-fitting mattress.
          • If using a baby monitor with cords, make sure all cords are at least three feet away from the crib and are out of baby’s reach.
