• Place your baby to sleep on his or her back at naptime and night time.
• Use a safety-approved crib with a firm, tight-fitting mattress.
• Remove all soft bedding and toys from your baby’s sleep area (this includes loose blankets, bumpers and positioners).
• Use a SleepSack wearable blanket to replace loose blankets in your baby’s crib.
• DO NOT put your baby to sleep on any soft surface (sofas, chairs, water beds, quilts, sheep skins, etc.).
• Room sharing is safer than bed sharing.
• DO NOT dress your baby too warmly for sleep; keep room temperature between 68-72 degrees.
• DO NOT let anyone smoke around your baby or be in a room where someone recently has smoked.
• Educate relatives, baby sitters and other caregivers about these important safety tips.
• Tummy time is important for babies while they are awake and being supervised. Place your baby on his or her tummy for playtime to help strengthen upper body muscles.
