“I know it’s best to put my baby to sleep on his back, but what else can I do to prevent SIDS?”
•Place your baby in a safety-approved crib with a firm mattress and a fitted sheet.
•Never put your baby to sleep on a chair, sofa, water bed, cushion, or sheepskin.
•The safest place for your baby to sleep is in the room where you sleep, but not in your bed.
•Place your baby’s crib or bassinet near your bed (within an arm’s reach) to make breastfeeding easier and help you watch over your baby.
•If bumper pads are used, they should be thin, firm, well secured, and not “pillow-like.”
•Blankets, if used, should be tucked in around the crib mattress. They should not reach any higher than your baby’s chest. Try using sleep sacks or sleep clothing instead of a blanket to avoid the risk of overheating.
•Keep pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, and stuffed toys out of your baby’s crib. They can cover your infant’s face—even if she is lying on her back
