safe sleep practices

Safe sleep practices are essential for reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related incidents. To ensure safe sleep, place your baby on their back to sleep, use a firm mattress with a fitted sheet, and keep the crib free of soft bedding, pillows, and toys. Room-sharing without bed-sharing is recommended, keeping the baby close but in their own sleep space. Maintain a comfortable room temperature and avoid exposing infants to smoke. Regular pediatrician check-ups aid in addressing any concerns and ensuring a safe sleeping environment for your baby.
