Getting a good night's sleep is important. When caring for babies, it's essential that sleep is also a safe environment. Here are some tips:

✅ Safe sleep is alone on their back in a crib, cradle, bassinet, that meets Canadian safety regulations.

❌ Safe sleep is not snuggling up with a baby, even for a quick nap. It is also not safe to place a baby on furniture that is designed for older adults or children.

🚫 Never put soft items with a baby while they sleep in any sleep space (loungers etc.) These include stuffed animals, quilts, mattress toppers, bumper pads, and more.

🙅 No cords (blinds, windows, electronics etc.) near the baby's sleep space.

👶 Make sure the baby is dressed in light sleepwear. It's important to keep them from overheating. No hats or sleeping in outerwear. Babies do not need blankets.
