Sleep in crib

Keep your baby safe with these simple tips
Firm & Flat
Always place your baby on a firm mattress in a safe crib with a tightly fitted sheet. A safe crib is a bassinet, play-yard or crib that has the spindles no wider than 2-3/8 inches apart and sides that do not drop down.
Sleepytime
Dress your baby in a sleep sack, onesie or wearable blanket, depending on the temperature.
Room Share,
Not Bed Share
Having a baby’s sleep area in the same room, on a separate surface is recommended for the first six months.
Tummy Time
Laying your baby on his/her stomach for brief periods while awake is an important way to help strengthen neck and shoulder muscles. Improving your baby’s motor skills reduces risk of suffocation.
Smoke-Free
Environment
Don’t smoke in your home or around your baby. Children exposed to tobacco smoke are at risk for asthma and other respiratory illnesses, earaches, and SIDS.
Avoid Overheating
Being too hot can increase the risk of SIDS so dress your baby in only one more layer than you’d wear in the same environment.
