Infant Safe Sleep
Recommendations that reduce the risk of sleep-related infant death:
-
Place infants on their backs for sleep in their own sleep space with no other people.
-
Use a crib, bassinet or portable play yard with a firm, flat mattress and a fitted sheet. Avoid sleep on a couch or armchair or in a seating device, like a swing or car safety seat (except while riding in the car).
-
Keep loose blankets, pillows, stuffed toys, bumpers and other soft items out of the sleep space.
-
Breastfeed if possible and avoid smoking.
