Why to practice safe sleep?

​
The safest way for a baby to sleep is by following the ABCDs of safe sleep:
-
Alone: Share a room, not a bed, with your baby.
-
Back: Babies are less likely to choke when they sleep on their backs.
-
Crib: Babies should always sleep in a crib that only has a fitted sheet—no toys or blankets.
-
Don’t Smoke: Smoke in the home makes it harder for babies to breathe well—no cigarettes, vapes, or marijuana around baby.
By following safe sleep practices , you are giving your baby the best chance for a safe and restful sleep. If you have questions about your baby’s specific sleep needs, talk to their pediatrician.
