Safe Infant Sleep Checklist

Safe Infant Sleep Checklist

• Place babies on their backs for naps and at night until they are 1 year old. Make sure babies sleep on a firm, flat surface in their own crib, bassinet
  or play yard.
  
• Choose a firm mattress and fitted sheet for baby’s crib. Remove toys, blankets, pillows, bumper pads and other accessories from the crib.
  
• Dress baby in a wearable blanket, onesie or similar clothing for every sleep. A loose blanket could cover baby’s airway or make their body temperature too high.
  
• Share your room, not your bed. Place baby’s crib or bassinet in your bedroom instead of
  letting baby sleep in the same bed with you.
  
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to assemble your crib. Make sure to complete and
  submit the product registration card to learn about any recalls or safety updates.
