Safe Sleep Environment

A safe sleep environment ensures that infants sleep in a setting that minimizes the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related accidents. This includes placing the baby on their back to sleep, using a firm and flat sleep surface like a crib or bassinet with a tight-fitting sheet, and keeping the sleep area free of loose bedding, pillows, toys, and bumper pads. The room should be at a comfortable temperature to prevent overheating. Ensuring a safe sleep environment promotes healthy, secure sleep and reduces potential hazards for the baby.
