Now, let us begin with the first lesson, There is nothing more beautiful than a sleeping baby, especially for parents who are often overtired themselves. By following a few simple tips, you can create a safer sleeping environment for your baby. 

You must put the baby to sleep on the back both for naps and sleeping at night. This will reduce the risk of SIDS. The baby should not sleep on the sides or on the tummy. These positions may cause choking. It has been observed that babies who sleep on their stomachs are at a higher risk of SIDS. Remember "Stomach to play,back to sleep" is best for babies. These are also important for the baby's healthy development.

To decrease the chances of flat spots from forming on your baby's head let the baby lie on the tummy while someone is around and watching. Keep changing the direction of the baby in the sleeping area every week.

We know that stuffed animals, bumpers and all those cute accessories make a baby’s crib seem warm and cozy. Unfortunately, they can often do more harm than good. Soft bedding can block a baby’s airway during sleep. A firm mattress covered with a tight-fitting crib sheet is all you need to make your baby sleep like a baby.

The baby's crib must be kept away from the heat vent or any other direct source of heat or cold air. For preventing the baby from getting overheated it is best to used layered clothing. The baby should not be overdressed. If you’re worried about keeping your baby warm on those cold winter nights, try using a sleep-sack (wearable blanket). They’re pretty cozy.

Most infant suffocation occurs during sleep but don’t worry, your baby will be fine. Just spend a little time to make sure your crib is safe.
If you can fit a can of soda between the slats of a crib, that means a child’s head, hand or foot could get stuck.

Make sure the mattress is firm and fits snugly; otherwise a child could get stuck between the gaps. Cover it with a crib sheet with nothing else in it.
The sleep surface is also very important. Health workers have observed that babies who sleep under or on soft bedding are more likely to die of SIDS.Babies should not sleep on beds, sofas, recliners, chairs, soft surfaces, bouncy chairs or baby swings. If this happens, make sure to return your baby to a safe sleep environment.

New parents have a million things to do, but learning CPR should be on the top of the list. It will give you tremendous peace of mind – and the more peace of mind you have as a parent, the better.
