Safe Sleep Environment
Keep soft objects, toys and loose bedding out of a baby’s sleep area.
Safe Sleep Practices
- Consider using a wearable blanket or other sleeper instead of a blanket to avoid the risk of overheating. Keep the room at a temperature that is comfortable for a lightly clothed adult.
- If you use a blanket, place the baby’s feet at the end of the crib. The blanket should reach no higher than the baby’s chest. Tuck the ends of the blanket under the crib mattress.
Back to Sleep, Tummy to Play
Tummy time is for the baby who is awake and being watched. This will help strengthen neck muscles and avoid flat spots on baby’s head.
Did you know?
If objects such as toys and soft bedding are in the crib, they can cover a baby’s face and impair breathing.
