The "Safe to Sleep" campaign builds on "Back to Sleep," reminding parents and caregivers to put infants to sleep on their backs and provide a safe sleep environment.
For parents and families who have experienced a SIDS death, many groups, including First Candle, can provide grief counseling, support, and referrals. Reviewed by: Floyd R. Livingston Jr. Gavin, MD. Larger text size Large text size Regular text size.

Why Is Stomach Sleeping Dangerous? Page 2 What Is "Back to Sleep"? Common Concerns Some parents might worry about " flat head syndrome " positional plagiocephaly. What Is "Safe to Sleep"? Here's how parents can help reduce the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related deaths: Get early and regular prenatal care. Place your baby on a firm mattress to sleep, never on a pillow, waterbed, sheepskin, couch, chair, or other soft surface.
Cover the mattress with a fitted sheet and no other bedding. Keep soft objects and loose bedding out of the sleep area. Do not use bumper pads in cribs. However, new research has come out indicating that while the risk for SIDS decreases significantly at 4 months, the rate of unsafe sleep practices and less nighttime sleep when room-sharing past 4 months actually increases.
Back when we were infants, we likely were placed on our stomachs to sleep and your mom or grandmother may even encourage you to put your baby down in this position. When babies are placed on their tummies, there is more risk for their airways to be blocked if they wind up face-down in the mattress. With very immature motor function and weak head, neck, and trunk muscles, it is difficult for young infants to turn their head and clear their airway.
Infants should be placed on a firm, flat sleep surface covered only by a tightly fitted sheet. I know it can seem boring and even uncomfortable to envision your new little bundle sleeping in a bare crib on a rigid mattress, but softer materials like memory foam can result in indents or small pockets that can increase the risk of a phenomenon known as carbon dioxide re-breathing. As your baby breathes in oxygen, they breathe out carbon dioxide. If their face is too close to a small pocket or even another piece of fabric , that little space can begin to fill with exhaled carbon dioxide instead of oxygen.
But please make sure that when it comes time to place your baby into it for sleep, there is nothing else in there with them. With fluffy bedding, blankets, bumpers, and even plush toys, the risk for entrapment, obstructed airways, and suffocation rises greatly.
As you know, the safest place for babies to sleep is on a firm, flat mattress in an approved crib, bassinet, or play yard. SIDS is not a health concern for babies older than 1 year of age.
Sleeping with a baby in an adult bed increases the risk of suffocation and other sleep-related causes of infant death. Room sharing is known to reduce the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death.
