Top Safe Sleep Tips for Your Baby
Becoming a parent for the first time means lots of new unknowns â from learning to breastfeed and swaddle to buckling your newborn into the car seat for the first time. But when it comes to putting them to bed safely, itâs important to remember it really can mean life or death. Itâs something weâre taught before our little one is even here: the correct way to put your baby to bed safely. Sadly though, the number of infant deaths continues to climb. The main culprit of sleep-related infant death continues to be all the items parents leave in the crib with their babies. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, there are about 3,500 sleep-related deaths among babies each year. âThe best advice is âbare is best.â Keep your infantâs sleep space clutter free â no blankets, bumpers, toys or pillows,ââŻsaid Karen Wagner, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. Follow theâŻABCs for Safe Sleep Remembering the ABCs is an easy way to remember how to put your little one to bed safely. A: Alone No blankets, toys or pillows. âWe do recommend using a sleep sack as a blanket alternative,â said Karen. âIt prevents the risk of suffocation and keeps your baby warm.â Keep in mind, the greatest risk for suffocation happens when babies are under 1 year of age, so itâs best to save the toys, blankets and pillows for their âbig kid bed,â or around 18 months old. B: Back The slogan âback is bestâ is another good reminder. Keeping your baby on their back until theyâre old enough to rollover helps reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). C: Crib It is best to have your baby sleep alone in their crib. While co-sleeping may be enticing, especially after a late-night feed, it increases the risks of possible suffocation. However, âhaving your child in your room, in their own crib or bassinet, is protective for SIDS,â Karen said. âIn fact, we think co-rooming reduces SIDS risk by almost 50 percent.â Co-rooming allows parents to keep new babies in close reach and helps parents oversee their babyâs sleep, just in case something happens.
