Create a safe sleep environment for your infant by following the guidelines below:
» Use a firm and flat sleep surface, such as a mattress in a safety-approved crib, covered by a fitted sheet.
» Your baby should not sleep in an adult bed, on a couch or on a chair alone, with you, or with anyone else.
» Do not smoke or let anyone else smoke around your baby.
» Do not put pillows, blankets, sheepskins or crib bumpers anywhere in your baby’s sleep area.
» Keep soft objects, toys and loose bedding out of your baby’s sleep area. Make sure nothing covers the baby’s head.
» Dress your baby in sleep clothing, such as a wearable blanket. Do not use a loose blanket, and do not over bundle.
» Always place your baby on his or her back to sleep, for naps and at night.
