00:00:05.072 --> 00:00:07.806
Having a safe sleep
environment for your baby

2
00:00:07.842 --> 00:00:10.676
is important. It can
prevent sudden infant

3
00:00:10.711 --> 00:00:15.147
death syndrome, or SIDS.
Follow this checklist to

4
00:00:15.182 --> 00:00:17.950
make sure your baby
sleeps safe and sound.

5
00:00:17.985 --> 00:00:22.855
DO: Lie your baby on a
firm, flat, non-inclined

6
00:00:22.890 --> 00:00:26.592
sleep surface, such as in
a crib or bassinet. The

7
00:00:26.627 --> 00:00:29.661
crib mattress should fit
snugly to prevent gaps

8
00:00:29.697 --> 00:00:33.699
where legs and arms could
get caught. DO: Place your

9
00:00:33.734 --> 00:00:38.404
baby to sleep on their
back. Always. DO: Keep

10
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.974
toys, stuffed animals, and
loose bedding out of the

11
00:00:42.009 --> 00:00:42.975
crib.

12
00:00:43.010 --> 00:00:46.445
DO NOT: Use a drop-side
crib, or one with sharp

13
00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:50.849
corners, splinters, lead
paint, or missing parts.

14
00:00:50.885 --> 00:00:53.585
If you're inheriting a
crib, make sure it's in

15
00:00:53.621 --> 00:00:56.488
overall good condition,
complies with the latest

16
00:00:56.524 --> 00:01:00.325
safety requirements, and
has not been recalled. DO

17
00:01:00.361 --> 00:01:04.296
NOT: Use pillows,
blankets, or crib bumpers.

18
00:01:04.331 --> 00:01:06.832
You can keep your baby
warm with sleep clothing,

19
00:01:06.867 --> 00:01:08.901
like a one-piece sleeper.

20
00:01:08.936 --> 00:01:12.104
DO NOT: Let your child
sleep in a car seat,

21
00:01:12.139 --> 00:01:15.941
stroller, swing, or infant
carrier. Move them as soon

22
00:01:15.976 --> 00:01:18.677
as possible to a safe
sleep surface on their

23
00:01:18.712 --> 00:01:23.916
back. DO NOT: Share a bed
with your baby. Instead,

24
00:01:23.951 --> 00:01:27.186
share a room: place their
bed in your room for at

25
00:01:27.221 --> 00:01:30.055
least the first 6 months.

26
00:01:30.091 --> 00:01:32.424
Following this checklist
can help you keep your

27
00:01:32.460 --> 00:01:34.159
baby safe while
they sleep.
