Always put your baby to sleep on his back and on a firm sleep surface.

Keep soft objects, loose bedding, or any other objects that could increase the risk of entrapment, suffocation, or strangulation out of the crib. Place your baby to sleep in the same room with you but not the same bed. Your baby should be in the same room for at least 6 months.
