• Always place a baby on his or her Back to Sleep, for naps and at night. • Place a baby on a firm sleep surface, such as on a safety-approved crib mattress, covered by a fitted sheet. • Keep soft objects, toys, and loose bedding out of a baby’s sleep area. • Do not allow smoking around a baby. • Keep the baby’s sleep area close to, but separate from, where you and others sleep. • Think about using a clean, dry pacifier when placing an infant down to sleep. Do not force the baby to take it. When a baby breastfeeds, wait until he or she is one month old or until after breastfeeding has been established. • Do not let a baby overheat during sleep. • Avoid products that claim to reduce the risk of SIDS. • Do not use home monitors to reduce the risk of SIDS. • Reduce the chance that flat spots will develop on a baby’s head by placing a baby on their tummy when he/she is awake and someone is watching.
