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:
