Safe Sleep

Follow these Safe Sleep Steps to keep your baby safe:

• Place baby alone on their back, in a crib, bassinet or pack n' play for every sleep time - nap time and night time.
• Use a firm mattress with a tightly fitted sheet.
• Keep baby's sleep space clutter free - no pillows, blankets or toys.
• Breastfeed, if you can. Breastfeeding support is available.
• Keep baby's sleep space where you can see and hear them. Share your room, not your bed. 
• Avoid covering baby's head or overheating.  Instead of a blanket, consider using a sleep sack, wearable blanket or footed sleeper to keep baby warm.
• Remind everyone who cares for your baby, including babysitters and family members, how to keep baby safe while sleeping.
