·         Always Place your baby on his or her back to sleep, even for naps

·         Place your baby on a firm mattress, such as in a safety approved crib

·         Remove soft, fluffy bedding and stuffed toys from your baby’s sleep area

·         Make sure your baby’s head and face remain uncovered during sleep

·         Do not allow smoking around your baby

·         Do not let your baby get too warm during sleep

·         Talk to childcare providers, grandparents, babysitters, and all caregivers about SIDS risk
