* Always place babies on their backs to sleep

* Do not fall asleep with a baby in an adult bed or on a sofa. Babies are safest in their own cribs or bassinets placed near your bed for the first six months.

* Do not smoke while you are pregnant, and do not expose babies to second-hand smoke after they are born.

* Use a safety-approved crib or bassinet with a firm, tight-fitting mattress.

* Do not place babies to sleep on soft surfaces like adult beds, sofas, waterbeds, blankets, quilts, or sheepkins.

* Do not use loose blankets in a baby's crib. Keep babies warm and safe with a wearable blanket or another type of sleeper.

* Remove all soft bedding and other soft items from the crib (including soft or pillow-like bumpers).

* Take care not to overheat baby with too much clothing or too warm of a room.

* Use a pacifier at nap and nighttime for the first year. For breastfed infants, delay use until 1month of age to ensure establishment of breastfeeding.
