NAPTIME TO NIGHTIME
Things You Need to Know When Putting Baby to Sleep
|
 |
Normal,
healthy infants should ALWAYS sleep on their backs. |
 |
Infants
should ALWAYS sleep in a crib. |
 |
Choose
a crib which meets current federal and ASTM standards. |
 |
Choose
a firm mattress that fits snugly in the crib. |
 |
Be
sure the fitted crib sheet fits the mattress and covers
the mattress corners. |
 |
Only
a fitted crib sheet, mattress pad, and/or waterproof
pad should be used between the baby and the crib mattress. |
 |
Quilts,
comforters, and blankets should NEVER be placed under
the baby. |
 |
NEVER
place any covering higher than baby's shoulders. |
 |
NEVER
place infants to sleep on pillows, sofa cushions, adult
beds, waterbeds, beanbags, or any other surface not
specifically designed for infant sleep. |
 |
Do
not overdress your baby. If you feel comfortable, your
baby will too. |
