Providing a Safe Sleep Environment
Does your infant sleep environment look like this?
Learn and spread the word to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep related causes of infant death.
Sleep related causes of infant death are those linked to how or where a baby sleeps or slept SIDS is the leading cause of death in babies one month to one year of age
Most SIDS deaths happen when babies are between one month and four months of age
Babies should have tummy time when they are awake and when someone is watching them
When infants are in your care, please remember:
Infants sleep safest on their backs
An infant’s sleep surface matters
Keep soft objects, toys, and loose bedding out of the baby’s sleep area
Don’t smoke around babies
Don’t share a bed
Infants must be actively supervised while sleeping in a safe sleep environment
Sleep areas are to be ventilated and at a temperature that is comfortable for a lightly clothed adult. Don’t let a baby get too hot while sleeping.
