Infant Safe Sleep

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) reports that around 3,500 babies die from sleep-related incidents in the United States each year. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a safe sleep environment that can reduce the risk of all sleep-related infant deaths including Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), ill-defined deaths, and accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed.

Safe sleep practices include supine positioning, the use of a firm sleep surface, roomsharing without bed-sharing, and the avoidance of soft bedding and overheating. These recommendations are designed to reduce the chances of tragic sleep-related deaths.

It’s important for all caregivers—parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, babysitters, child care providers, and everyone who might care for baby—to learn about creating a safer sleep environment:

Follow the ABCs of Safe Sleep

Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) approved

Avoid letting your baby overheat during sleep

Keep soft objects, toys, and loose bedding out of your baby’s sleep area

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I preregister with the Birthplace?

Can I have my tubes tied after delivery?

How many family members or friends can I have in the delivery room with me?

We support a mother’s choice about the people she wants present during labor and delivery.

During labor, the only limit to the number of family and friends is your comfort level. Whether you prefer a few people or a room full of family and friends, it’s your decision.

During vaginal delivery, we limit the number of family and friends to four for safety. This also gives our delivery team room to work.

After delivery, we encourage mothers to be alone with their baby for two hours before having visitors to support bonding and breastfeeding. If you are comfortable with visitors sooner than that, please let us know.
