Five Steps To Create A Safe Sleeping Environment For Your Baby

1. Provide a smoke free environment - before and after birth.
2. Always place your baby on his/her back to sleep - during nap and bed time.
3. Place your baby to sleep in a crib next to the adult's bed for the first 6 months.
4. Provide a safe crib environment that has no toys or loose bedding. Baby sleeping bags or sleep sacks are a great alternative to blankets.
5. Be aware of room temperature, you don't want your baby to over heat.
