We know you're exhausted. New parent tired is a whole different level.

But falling asleep on the couch or in a chair with your baby is one of the most dangerous situations for a newborn. Soft surfaces, loose cushions, and the risk of rolling make it unsafe. If you feel yourself drifting off, put your baby down in their crib first.

Protecting tiny sleepers starts with that one habit.
