Here are some Safe Sleep Tips for Baby: 

• Place your baby's separate, safe sleep space near your bed. No bed sharing!
• Use a crib that meets current safety standards. The mattress should be firm and fit snuggly in the crib.
• Do not put anything soft, loose or fluffy in your baby's sleep space.
• Never place your baby to sleep on top of any soft surface. This includes adult beds, sofas, chairs, waterbeds, pillows (This includes Boppy® Pillows), cushions, comforters and sheepskins.
• Never expose your baby to cigarette smoke.
• Always place your baby on his back. Side and tummy positions are not safe.
• Always put your baby in a wearable blanket when sleeping - even for naps.
