To create a safe sleep environment for your baby, follow these tips: - Keep soft items such as baby nests or pods and nursing pillows out of your baby’s sleep... environment to avoid risk of suffocation. - Babies should only sleep on a flat surface. Inclined sleep is not safe even for babies who spit up a lot. Products like hammocks and crib wedges should not be used. Move babies who fall asleep in car seats, high chairs, swings, and bouncers to a crib, cradle or bassinet. - Take off your baby’s snowsuit, raincoat, jacket and other outerwear once indoors, especially if your child is sleeping, to reduce the risk of suffocation and overheating.
