Your guide to safer sleep - brought to you by First Candle & Love to Dream
Back to Baby Sleep
Love to Dream is a proud partner of First Candle and shares the organisation’s mission to ending Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related infant deaths while providing bereavement support to families who have experienced a loss.
Following safer sleep advice can significantly reduce the chances of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDs). Follow this advice until your child is at least 12 months old (adjusted for premature babies).
Safer Sleep Tips
Flat on Back
Babies should be placed on a firm and flat (not propped up or inclined) surface with a tight-fitting sheet on his/her back for every nap time and bedtime.
Firm not fluffy
To test if a surface is too soft, press your hand down and then lift it up. If your hand leaves an indentation, it’s too soft.
Create a safe sleep zone
What does that mean? Baby should be alone, without pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, or even bumpers. Nothing but baby.
If it’s for sitting it’s not for sleeping
To test if a surface is too soft, press your hand down and then lift it up. If your hand leaves an indentation, it’s too soft.
Breast is best
Not every mom is successful or chooses to but, if you do, it’s important to stay awake when you’re breastfeeding. Sit up in bed, set an alarm or ask someone to help you stay awake.
Cribs instead of couches
It’s cozy to lay with your baby on a couch or armchair but if you’re tired, put your baby in his/her crib, bassinet or play yard. Baby can roll off you and get wedged in between the cushions or fall to the floor.
