Baby Safety Tips

Sleep Safety and Suffocation Prevention for Babies


Learn safety tips for your babyThere is nothing more beautiful than a sleeping baby, especially for parents who are often overtired themselves. By following a few simple tips, you can create a safer sleeping environment for your baby. 


Top Safety Tips

  • Lay your baby on his or her back to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

  • We know that stuffed animals, bumpers and all those cute accessories make a baby's crib seem warm and cozy. Unfortunately, they can often do more harm than good. Soft bedding can block a baby's airway during sleep. A firm mattress covered with a tight-fitting crib sheet is all you need to make your baby sleep like a baby.

  • If you're worried about keeping your baby warm on those cold winter nights, try using a sleepsack (wearable blanket). They're pretty cozy.

  • Most infant suffocation occurs during sleep but don't worry, your baby will be fine. Just spend a little time to make sure your crib is safe.

  • If you can fit a can of soda between the slats of a crib, that means a child's head, hand or foot could get stuck.

  • Make sure the mattress is firm and fits snugly; otherwise a child could get stuck between the gaps. Cover it with a crib sheet with nothing else in it.

  • Babies should not sleep on beds, sofas, recliners, chairs, soft surfaces, bouncy chairs or baby swings. If this happens, make sure to return your baby to a safe sleep environment.

  • New parents have a million things to do, but learning CPR should be on the top of the list. It will give you tremendous peace of mind - and the more peace of mind you have as a parent, the better.
