Keep Your Baby Sleeping Safe

For babies under 1 year old, remember BARE IS BEST! (No bumpers, blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, or stringy toys in the crib).

Following the ABCs of Sleep Safety will help reduce the risk of SIDS for your brand new little:

 Alone- Baby should sleep alone whether it be in a crib, bassinet, pack n' play, etc. It is recommended that they sleep in the parent's bedroom for up to the first year, but in their own sleeping vessel.

 Back- Baby needs to sleep on their back, not their stomach or their side. Research shows that this is the safest way for newborns to sleep. (It is okay if they roll over on their own). 

 Crib- Baby needs an empty crib with just a firm mattress and tight-fitting sheet only. Bumpers, blankets, pillows, and toys are all potential suffocation hazards. 

 Smoke/ Pollutant Free- Baby needs smoke/pollutant free areas. Babies exposed to smoke have a higher risk of SIDS.

Allowing your baby to sleep in a bare crib is easy and gives peace of mind when your child is snuggled up in a sleep sack blanket. Halo offers some wonderful options for each different stage of your baby. Check them out on Amazon by clicking on the photos above or link below.
