The way your baby sleeps plays a critical role in their safety.

Creating a safe sleep environment means placing your baby on their back for every sleep, using a firm mattress with a fitted sheet and keeping the crib free of blankets, pillows, toys and other loose items.

These simple, consistent practices are recommended to help reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related infant deaths.

Understanding what safe sleep looks like can help you feel more confident and prepared when caring for your baby at home.
