Why It’s Important:
Safe sleep reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Following guidelines helps keep your baby safe and gives you peace of mind.
Tips for Success:
– Always place your baby on their back to sleep.
– Use a firm mattress with a fitted sheet—no pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals.
– Share a room, not a bed, for at least the first 6 months.
Activity:
Create a bedtime routine with a gentle lullaby and soft lighting. After singing, place your baby on their back in a safe sleep space.
