The abcs of Infant safe sleep For babysitters and older siblings

What do these sleeping babies have in common?

alone Alone means the sleep space should not have anything in it, except for the baby. There should not be blankets, pillows, toys, or stuffed animals in the crib. There should not be pets or other people sleeping with the baby. WHY? Because babies are small and can be squished by pets and other people. WHY? Because their airways can easily be covered by blankets, pillows, toys, or stuffed animals.

On my back On my back means babies should be placed to sleep on their back. Babies should never be placed to sleep face-down or on their belly. WHY? Babies need lots of oxygen to breath. WHY? If a baby is laying face-down or on the belly, they may not get enough oxygen. WHY? Just like our traditional cradleboards, babies should be on their back. Babies will not choke on spit-up if they’re on their back! If they can roll over on their own, you do not have to flip them back over.

In my crib In my crib means that babies should only sleep in their own crib, bassinette, or Pack N’ Play. Babies should never sleep in a grown-up bed, couch, chair, or even a baby swing, car seat, or bouncy seat. WHY? Babies can get stuck or fall off furniture. WHY? Babies’ necks are not very strong yet, so their heads can drop down and make it hard to breathe if they fall asleep in a baby swing, car seat, or bouncy seat. If a baby falls asleep in any other area besides their own crib, bassinette, or Pack N’ Play, pick them up and move them to their crib as soon as possible.
