SACRAMENTO COUNTY ABC’S OF INFANT SAFE SLEEPING
A for Alone Babies should always sleep alone in their
own crib or bassinette. Co-sleeping with other children or even
parents can be dangerous – others in bed with your baby can accidentally suffocate them by simply lying too close to their mouth or nose, or by rolling onto them while asleep.
Your baby should not sleep with stuffed animals, pillows or blankets — these soft items could accidentally fall over your baby’s face and suffocate them.
A blanket sleeper or sleep sack is enough to keep your baby comfortable.

B for Back Babies who sleep on their backs are much less
likely to die of infant sleep-related deaths. According to doctors, “back sleeping” will not
increase a baby’s risk of choking. Many of our own mothers and grandmothers were
taught to put a baby on their tummy to sleep — so you’ll need to gently remind them that to prevent infant sleep-related deaths, it’s “back to sleep.” 8

C for Crib Cribs and bassinets are the safest places
for babies to sleep – as long as you keep them safe!
To make breastfeeding easier keep a crib or bassinet next to your bed and always put your baby back to sleep afterwards.
Cribs should be free of pillows, bumpers, stuffed toys, extra blankets or anything that could accidentally cover your babies face and suffocate them. A blanket sleeper or sleep sack is sufficient.
Make sure that the crib mattress is firm and fits snuggly with no space between the mattress and the side of the crib, where the baby could become trapped.
Unlike firm crib mattresses, today’s adult beds are soft and can cause babies to suffocate. 9
INFANT SLEEP-RELATED DEATHS:A QUICK AND SILENT KILLER
Infant sleep-related deaths are the leading cause of death for babies one month to one year of age.
Most babies that have an infant sleep-related death appear to be healthy prior to death.
Infant sleep-related deaths occur in all socio-economic, racial and ethnic groups. African American and Native American babies are 2-3 times more likely than Caucasian babies to have an infant sleep-related death.

INFANT SAFE SLEEPING
Recent research from the American Academy of Pediatrics indicates that infant sleep-related deaths can be prevented by implementing safe sleeping techniques for every nap and every night.
Recommendations for sleep position and environment should be used consistently for infants up to 1 year of age.

a clean, dry pacifier at nap and bedtime,
but do not force it.

consultant and/or your
doctor.
