How did your baby sleep?



Answer
It is very important that infants sleep on their back, with no extra pillows, blankets, toys, etc in the crib with them. Swaddle him or tuck a blanket around him to keep him warm, and have him sleep on his back. This is important until 1 year of age, as it has been shown to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by up to 50%. After that, go by what is most comfortable for your baby. But always think of safety- once your baby can roll over, he can roll off of a crib or changing table. Once he can stand, he could tip over a low crib rail. Here is a full list of tips from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia:

Place your baby on his/her back on a firm, tight-fitting mattress in a crib that meets current safety standards.
Remove pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, stuffed toys, and other soft products from the crib.
Consider using a sleeper as an alternative to blankets with no other covering.
If using a blanket, put your baby with his/her feet at the foot of the crib. Tuck a thin blanket around the crib mattress, only as far as the baby's chest.
Make sure your baby's head remains uncovered during sleep.
Do not place your baby on a waterbed, sofa, soft mattress, pillow, or other soft surface to sleep.
