Safe Bedding Practices For Infants

Place baby on his/her back on a firm
tight−fitting mattress in a crib that meets
current safety standards.
Remove pillows, quilts, comforters,
sheepskins, pillow−like stuffed toys, and other
soft products from the crib.
Consider using a sleeper or other sleep
clothing as an alternative to blankets, with no
other covering.
If using a blanket, put baby with feet at the foot
of the crib. Tuck a thin blanket around the crib
mattress, reaching only as far as the baby's
chest.
Make sure your baby's head remains
uncovered during sleep.
Do not place baby on a waterbed, sofa, soft
mattress, pillow, or other soft surface to sleep.
