It’s important to have a safe sleep space for your baby to reduce the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). 

Here are some tips to help keep your baby sleeping safely: 

• Place your baby on his or her back for all sleep times—naps and at night. 
• Use a firm mattress with a tight-fitting crib sheet in a crib that meets current safety standards. 
• Remove pillows, quilts, comforters, crib bumpers, stuffed toys, and other soft products from the crib. 
• Consider using a sleep sack, which zips around your baby, as an alternative to blankets, with no other covering. 
• Make sure your baby’s head remains uncovered during sleep. 
• Do not place baby on a waterbed, sofa, soft mattress, pillow or other soft surface to sleep.
