What's Safe Sleep?

Follow the ABCs to keep infants safe while sleeping. Lay them down:

• ALONE in fitted clothing with no blankets, toys, pillows, crib bumpers, or other suffocation or strangulation hazards
• On their BACKS, not on the side or stomach
• In a CRIB, approved by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, with fitted mattress and sheet
