-Use a "safety-approved" firm mattress and crib fitted sheet.
-Place your baby on his or her back for naps and at night sleep.
-Use clothing, instead of a blanket for warmth, as a sleeper.
-The infant needs one more layer than you would need to be warm. The room should be comfortable for you.
- DO NOT LET ANY PERSON, relative, friend SMOKE near your baby.
-Make sure nothing covers the baby's head.
-DO NOT use pillows or blankets, baby crib bumpers in your baby's sleep area. No soft toys, soft objects or loose bedding in the sleep area.
-Keep your baby's sleep area near you, but do not allow the baby to sleep in your bed. If you breastfeed your baby in your bed, when your baby is finished with the feeding, remove your baby from your bed and place your baby again in his/her own crib.
-Consider using a pacifier when the baby is laid down to sleep when the baby is at least a month old if you are breastfeeding.
-Using home monitors are not advised to reduce the risk of SIDS. Instead talk to your health provider.
-Provide "tummy time" by placing your baby on his/her abdomen three -four times a day, when you are right there with your baby to allow adequate stimulation of muscle development, and prevent the "flat spots". Reduce extra time in car seats, carriers, and baby bouncers.
