Know a new or expecting parent? Here are the basics of how to keep babies safe!
Babies spend most of their time sleeping, so we're is urging parents and caregivers to get “back to basics” to make sure that baby’s sleep spaces are safe. Our new public service announcement focuses on three key reminders for safe sleep:
1. Back to Sleep: Always place the baby to sleep on the baby’s back to reduce the risk of sudden unexpected infant death syndrome (SUID/SIDS) and suffocation;
2. Bare is Best: Always keep the baby’s sleep space bare (fitted sheet only) to prevent suffocation. Do not use pillows, padded crib bumpers, quilts or comforters; and
3. Only place the baby to sleep in a product that is intended for sleep. Transfer the baby to a crib, bassinet, play yard or bedside sleeper if the baby falls asleep in a swing, bouncer, lounger or similar product.
