Back is Best

Safe Sleep

Babies Sleep Safest

1. ALONE – Keep your baby close to you when they are sleeping but alone in their bed. Room-share but don’t bed-share.

2. ON THEIR BACK – Always place your baby to sleep on their back

3. IN A CRIB OR PACK-N-PLAY – Your baby should sleep in a firm crib or pack-n-play with nothing other than a well fitted sheet. No blankets, pillows, toys or bumper pads.

4. STAY AWAKE WHILE FEEDING YOUR BABY – Anyone holding your baby should be awake and alert.

5. DO NOT OVERDRESS YOUR BABY

6. AVOID HARMFUL EXPOSURES – Avoid allowing your baby to be exposed to smoke, alcohol, or drugs.
