Infant Sleep Safety
Infant sleep safety is crucial to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). To ensure a safe sleep environment, place infants on their backs in a crib or bassinet with a firm mattress and a fitted sheet. Avoid using soft bedding, pillows, or toys in the sleep area, as these can pose suffocation hazards.
Room-sharing is recommended, where the infant sleeps in the same room as the parents but in a separate sleep space. Maintaining a comfortable room temperature and avoiding overheating can also help promote safe sleep. Always follow guidelines from pediatricians and health organizations for best practices.
