Sweet (safe) dreams, little one 🌙

Whether you’re expecting or just a few weeks post-partum with your first or second baby, you might want a reminder about the do’s and don’t’s of safe sleep. We know you’ll do anything to keep your baby safe, and we’re here to help ⬇

✔ DO put your baby on a safe sleep surface, like a crib or bassinet, in the same room as you for at least the first 6 months
✔ DO use a well-fitted sheet and firm mattress in your baby’s sleep space
✔ DO put your baby to sleep flat on their back, even for naps
✔ DO dress your baby in one more layer than you’d be comfortable in

❌ DON’T put your baby in a crib with bumpers, blankets, pillows or even stuffed animals
❌ DON’T fall asleep with your baby in your bed or your arms
❌ DON’T put them on their stomach or side
❌ DON’T put them in too many layers or clothes that make them hot

Finally, DO rest when you can. And DON’T worry… with time, patience and a safe, soothing routine, you and your baby will be catching z’s before you know it 🙌
