SAFE SLEEP ABCs:
ALONE, BACK, CRIB

Always put babies to sleep alone on their back in an empty crib with only a firm mattress and tight-fitting sheet.

SHARE A ROOM,
NOT A BED

Bring baby’s crib into parent’s room, and never lay baby to sleep on a soft surface like an adult bed, couch or air mattress.

STAY ALERT WHILE
FEEDING BABY

Set an alarm and always return baby to crib after feeding. Breastfeed, if possible – it’s best for baby.
