Learn the ABCs of Safe Sleep
Alone
Share Your Room, Not Your Bed.
The safest place for your baby is alone in their own sleeping space in the same room with a parent or caregiver. Their sleeping space should be free of other people, pets, blankets, toys, bumpers, and other soft objects.

Back
On their Back. Every Time.
For every sleep, place your baby on their back before your child is 1 year of age. Even as your baby grows and learns to roll, starting sleep on their back is best.

Crib
Safe Crib. Safe Mattress.
Your baby should always be placed in a safety-approved crib on a firm mattress covered by a fitted sheet with no other bedding or soft objects.
