How to Keep Your Sleeping Baby Safe: AAP Policy Explained

By: Rachel Y. Moon, MD, FAAP

Every year, around 3,500 babies in the United States die suddenly and unexpectedly while they're sleeping. Most of these tragic deaths are due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or accidental deaths from suffocation or strangulation.

To reduce the risk of all sleep-related infant deaths, we've revised our policy statement and technical report on safe sleep. This updates our 2016 guidance and includes additional ways to reduce the risk of SIDS, as well as some new recommendations. Read on for more information.

Note: Unless mentioned otherwise, all these recommendations are for babies up to 1 year of age. Talk with your pediatrician if you have questions about any of the recommendations listed.

Recommendations for a safe sleep environment

Although there's no guaranteed way to prevent SIDS, research tells us that a safe sleep environment can help reduce your baby's risk of SIDS.

We also know how to prevent unintentional suffocation and strangulation in bed. Our guidance on safe sleep helps to protect babies from these deaths.

A safe sleep environment lowers the risk of all sleep-related infant deaths. Here are some ways you can help create a safe sleep environment.

Put your baby on their back for all naps & at night

Babies who sleep on their backs are much less likely to die suddenly and unexpectedly than babies who sleep on their stomachs or sides. The problem with the side position is that your baby can roll more easily onto their stomach. Some parents worry that babies will choke when they're on their backs. But your baby's airway anatomy and their gag reflex will keep that from happening. Even babies with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) should sleep flat on their backs.

Also keep in mind:

• A newborn should be placed skin-to-skin with their mother as soon after birth as possible, for at least an hour. After that, or when the mother needs to sleep or take care of her other needs, the baby should be placed on their back in a bassinet with no incline.
• Preemies may need to be on their stomachs temporarily while they're in the NICU, but you should place them on their backs as soon as they're medically stable. This helps them adjust to sleeping on their backs before going home.
• Some babies will roll onto their stomachs. You should always place your baby to sleep on their back, but if they're comfortable rolling both ways (back to tummy, tummy to back), then you don't need to keep turning your baby to their back again. Be sure that there are no blankets, pillows, stuffed toys or bumper pads in your baby's bed, though. Your baby could roll into any of these items, which could block their airflow.

Use a firm, flat sleep surface

A firm surface means that it shouldn't indent when your baby is lying on it. Any surface that inclines more than 10 degrees isn't safe for your baby to sleep on.

• Place your baby in a crib, bassinet, portable crib or play yard that meets the safety standards of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

• Check the CPSC website to make sure your crib hasn't been recalled, especially if it's not new.

• Make sure your crib mattress is designed for your specific crib and that it fits tightly. Use a fitted sheet only—nothing else should be in the crib with your baby.

• Don't use a crib that doesn't have instructions, is missing hardware or that's broken.

• Alternative sleep surfaces are only considered a safe option if they comply with the June 2021 CPSC rule that all infant sleep products must meet the existing federal safety standards for cribs, bassinets, portable cribs or play yards. This includes inclined sleep products, hammocks, baby boxes, in-bed sleepers, baby nests and pods, compact bassinets, travel bassinets and baby tents. If a product doesn't meet federal safety standards, avoid it.

• If your baby falls asleep in a car seat, stroller, swing, infant carrier or sling, you should move them to a firm sleep surface on their back as soon as possible.

• Don't use products for sleep that aren't specifically marketed for infant sleep. Examples include Boppy pillows and Dock-a-Tots.

• In an emergency, you can temporarily put your baby to sleep in a box, basket, dresser drawer or something similar. It should have thin, firm padding. As soon as you can get a CPSC-approved sleep surface, move your baby to that instead.

• If you need financial help, there are organizations throughout the United States that provide low-cost or free sleep surfaces. Check with your local Social Services agency.

Never sleep with your baby

Based on the evidence, the AAP doesn't recommend bed sharing with your baby under any circumstances. This includes twins and other multiples.

• If you bring your baby into your bed to feed or comfort them, place them in their own sleep space when you're ready to go to sleep.
• If there is any possibility that you might fall asleep while your baby is in your bed, make sure there are no pillows, sheets, blankets or any other items that could cover your baby's face, head and neck or overheat them. As soon as you wake up, be sure to move your baby to their own bed.
• Avoid falling asleep with your baby in other spots, too. The risk of sleep-related infant death is up to 67 times higher when infants sleep with someone on a couch, soft armchair or cushion.
• It's extra important not to bed share with your baby if:

• You have been drinking alcohol, used marijuana or taken any medicines or illicit drugs. The risk of sleep-related infant death is more than 10 times higher for babies who bed share with someone who is fatigued or has taken medications that make it harder for them to wake up; has used substances such as alcohol or drugs.
• Your baby is very young, small or was born prematurely. The risk of sleep-related infant death while bed sharing is 5 to 10 times higher when your baby is younger than 4 months olds. And the risk of sleep-related infant death is 2 to 5 times higher when your baby was born preterm or with low birth weight.
  

Instead of bed sharing, room share with your baby

This means keeping your baby's sleep area in the same room where you sleep for at least the first 6 months. Place your baby's crib, bassinet, portable crib or play yard in your bedroom, close to your bed. The AAP recommends room sharing because it can decrease the risk of SIDS by as much as 50% and it's much safer than bed sharing. Room sharing will also make it easier for you to feed, comfort and watch your baby.

Keep soft objects & loose bedding out of your baby's sleep area

These objects can increase your baby's risk of entrapment, suffocation or strangulation. This includes pillows and pillow-like toys, quilts, comforters, mattress toppers, non-fitted sheets, blankets, toys, bumper pads or related products that attach to crib slats or sides.

• If you're worried about your baby getting cold, you can dress them in layers of clothing or use a wearable blanket. In general, you should dress your baby in only one layer more than you're wearing.
  

• Don't use weighted blankets, sleepers, swaddles or other weighted objects on or near your baby.

Don't let your baby get overheated

Overheating can increase the risk of SIDS. Your baby only needs one more layer than you would wear in the same environment to be comfortable.

Other ways to lower SIDS risk

Along with creating a safe sleep environment, here are some other ways to lower your baby's risk of SIDS:.

Feed your baby breast milk

Evidence shows that human milk reduces the risk of SIDS. The longer you give your baby breast milk, the more protection it gives.

• Breastfeed or feed your baby expressed breast milk. The AAP recommends breastfeeding as the sole source of nutrition for your baby for about 6 months.

• Even after you add solid foods to your baby's diet, continue breastfeeding until they're at least 12 months, or longer if you and your baby desire.

Try giving your baby a pacifier at nap time and bedtime

This helps reduce the risk of SIDS, even if the pacifier falls out after your baby is asleep. But keep in mind:

• If your baby is breastfed, wait until breastfeeding is established before offering a pacifier. That means your milk supply is good, breastfeeding is comfortable and consistent, your baby is latching well and they're gaining weight like they should. If you're not breastfeeding your baby, you can start the pacifier whenever you like.

• It's OK if your baby doesn't want a pacifier. You can try offering again later, but some babies simply don't like them. If the pacifier falls out after your baby falls asleep, you don't have to put it back in.

• Don't hang a pacifier around your baby's neck or attach it to their clothing when they're sleeping.

Get regular prenatal care & avoid substance use during pregnancy

There's strong evidence that routine prenatal care reduces your baby's risk of SIDS. Also, avoid alcohol, marijuana, opioids or illicit drugs during pregnancy and after your baby is born. The risk of SIDS is higher when babies are exposed to alcohol or illicit substances.

Don't smoke or use nicotine during pregnancy or after your baby is born

Smoking while you're pregnant, and smoke in your baby's environment after birth, are significant risk factors for SIDS. Don't smoke anywhere near your baby, even if you're outside. This includes vaping and electronic cigarettes, which contain nicotine. Keep your car and home smoke-free. Get rid of secondhand smoke in any areas your baby and other nonsmokers spend time. If you're a smoker or you smoked during pregnancy, remember that it's especially important that you don't bed share with your baby. The risk of SIDS is especially high, even when the smoker doesn't smoke in bed.

Schedule and go to all well-child care visits

Regular check-ups help ensure your baby's growth and development is on track. In addition, your baby will receive important immunizations at these well-child visits with your pediatrician. Evidence suggests that infant vaccinations may help protect against SIDS.

Make sure your baby has tummy time while awake every day

An awake adult should supervise awake tummy time. This helps with your baby's motor development and prevents flat head syndrome. Start with a short amount of tummy time soon after you get home from the hospital. Gradually increase the time until your baby is doing at least 15 to 30 minutes of tummy time every day by the time they're 7 weeks old.

Swaddle your baby if you like

Just keep in mind that swaddling doesn't reduce the risk of SIDS.

• Make sure that your baby is always on their back when swaddled.

• The swaddle should not be too tight or make it hard for your baby to breathe or move their hips.

• When your baby looks like they're trying to roll over, you should stop swaddling them. The risk of suffocation is higher if your baby rolls to their stomach while they're swaddled. Rolling over usually happens around 3 to 4 months, but it can happen earlier.

• Don't use weighted swaddle blankets or weighted objects like rice bags inside the swaddle.

Be cautious when buying certain products

• Avoid baby products that aren't consistent with safe sleep recommendations. This is especially true for products that claim to reduce the risk of SIDS or other sleep-related infant deaths. There's just no evidence that this is true. If you're not sure about a specific product, check the CPSC website.

• Don't use home cardiorespiratory monitors as a way to reduce the risk of SIDS. You can buy consumer wellness devices such as heart rate and pulse oximetry monitors. Some of these are wearable. But remember, there is no evidence that these devices work to decrease SIDS risk. They don't have to meet the same requirements as medical devices either. Be aware that these devices can give you a false sense of security. It's fine to use one if you want to, just don't use it as a substitute for following all the above safe sleep guidelines.

Remember

Don't hesitate to talk with your pediatrician if you have any questions or concerns about the safety of your baby's sleep environment.

Safe Sleep: Charlie’s Story - HealthyChildren.org

by Sam Hanke, MD, FAAP and Kate Desmond

Charlie was our first-born son. My wife Maura and I welcomed him into the world on April 6, 2010. We were filled with the most incredible joy – he was healthy and beautiful – absolutely perfect. We felt so blessed and we were so in love with this precious baby boy.

Like most parents, we wished for a long, joyful, and happy life for our baby. We imagined his future, and we made plans. We found joy in the everyday – we read books with him, gave him baths, introduced him to family and friends.

But, our lives changed completely on the morning of April 28, 2010. Charlie died, a victim of an unsafe sleep environment. That night, I sat down on the couch with Charlie, to try and soothe him back to sleep. Imagine the perfect picture of sleep-deprived father and son. It wasn't unusual; we often see this photo on Instagram – baby asleep on dad's chest, dad sound asleep too. But when I woke up – Charlie didn't.

More than a decade later, we continue to feel the pain from the impact of that night. Learn more about our story in the video below.

Following safe sleep practices, as outlined by the American Academy of Pediatrics, is vital to preventing sleep-related infant deaths. We know that, when practiced, the advice - placing an infant on their back, in their own crib, next to an adult bed - saves lives.

But preventing the tragedy of sleep-related infant death takes more than education, promoting the ABCs of safe sleep, and breastfeeding. Parents need to be motivated and supported by their community.

Ok, so what can I do?

Be vigilant. We know safe sleep is hard. We have walked in those new parent shoes, exhausted, tank on empty. And, we also know parents want to do what is best for their baby. But, I'm here to tell you it takes just one sleep-deprived moment of fatigue to pull a baby into bed, couch, or armchair, and put that infant at risk. So, we need to talk more openly about parental exhaustion, what to do to stay awake, and how those in our community can help.

Creating a safe sleep plan

Mapping out a safe sleep plan is one place to start. Your plan should include:

• Where you will feed your baby.
• What activities you can do to stay awake.
• Who you can call for encouragement and relief.

Safe sleep is everyone's business

We all have a role to play in helping new parents be successful by recognizing the challenges that come with practicing safe sleep. From the pediatrician offering real practical tips on getting newborns to sleep, to the friend that can hold the baby so mom and dad can get a break, to the firefighter recognizing an unsafe sleep environment when on an ambulance run, to the child care provider making sure every crib in their facility is blanket and pillow free.

Providing solutions and support can empower parents to follow-through with their safe sleep plan. So parents, don't be afraid to ask for help. Friends, be encouraging and tell new parents they are doing a great job. Grandparents, be supportive and lend a hand when possible. And finally, all of us can lead with empathy and share real stories from those that have been impacted by sleep-related deaths.

Sharing my story

We created Charlie's Kids Foundation in 2011 as a way to provide resources for new parents about infant safe sleep so that other families would not have to suffer through a similar loss.

In 2013, our board book, Sleep Baby Safe and Snug, was created in an effort to share the American Academy of Pediatrics safe sleep recommendations in a way that was easy to understand and remember. Since that time, we have distributed millions of books across the country with the help of hospitals, community advocacy groups, and state health departments.

Through this book, we know Charlie is making a big difference and saving lives. But our work is not done. Too many babies continue to die in sleep environments, and this is a problem for all of us.

My hope is that you will share our story with the new parents in your life. Encourage them to practice safe sleep. Tell them when it feels especially hard, and they feel the exhaustion that comes with being a new parent to reach out, remember Charlie, and keep their baby safe.

• Carefully check the crib or carrycot to make sure it is stable and has no cracks or damaged parts that could injure the baby.
• The dimensions of the mattress must fully match the dimensions of the crib so that the child does not get stuck in the space between the mattress and the walls of the crib.
• Keep the crib/carrycot a safe distance from windows, doors, curtains, and any cords, tapes, or cables that could cause a child to choke or choke.
• Keep all potentially hazardous items (lamps, small objects) away from the cot/carrycot.
• Place the crib/carrycot away from radiators and other sources of heat as they can cause burns to babies.
• The cot/carrycot must be free of toys. Do not let an older child sleep with battery operated toys as they may overheat or leak, resulting in burns or poisoning.
• The sheet on which the baby sleeps should be spread out with a strong pull on it without leaving wrinkles, and the use of quilted and thick blankets should also be avoided.
• Cover the baby with a light blanket, but never cover the head.
• Avoid using pillows during the first months of a child's life.
• Dress babies and children in pajamas that are properly sized and made from flame retardant materials. Do not put your baby to bed in casual or home clothes, uncomfortable clothes, or items with strings that could suffocate him.
• It is not recommended for a child to sleep in the same bed with an older child or adult because they may accidentally hit and crush him while sleeping, or he may toss and turn and get stuck between another person's body and the surface on which they sleep.

If you do sleep in the same bed as your baby, do not sleep on a soft surface, choose a mattress as firm as possible, do not put blankets and pillows around and under the baby, do not smoke or use alcohol and other psychotropic substances (medicines, etc.). .d.). During the day, never leave your child alone to sleep in your bed or on the couch.

• Make sure that the room where your child sleeps is not too hot. Remember that overheating is one of the risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
• Do not smoke in the room where your child is or sleeps. In addition to being harmful to health, tobacco smoke increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
• Do not leave your child to sleep for too long in car seats, carriers or any device that keeps him in a semi-sitting position. As soon as you arrive, move your baby to a crib where he can sleep in an appropriate sleeping position (on his back).

If you are leaving somewhere and will spend the night with a child away from home, carefully inspect the place where you are staying and eliminate all potential sources of danger.

Safe Newborn Sleep - How to Co-sleep Safely

The first and most important thing when it comes to baby sleep is not daily routine and bedtime and safety! Our article is devoted to the safety of children's sleep. This is a very important topic, which is so little covered in Russia.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

Sleep death of a baby in the first year of life is associated with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). A perfectly healthy baby suddenly dies in his sleep. Most often, such cases are recorded in a dream, so this syndrome is called "death in the cradle." Babies in the first year of life are most at risk of SIDS, and babies in the second and third months of life are especially at risk. 90% of all cases occur in babies under 6 months of age.

However, SIDS is only a subset of the conditions grouped under the term Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SIDC). Accidental asphyxia and suffocation in bed constitute a significant part of the cases of SNCM.

Safer sleep for the newborn is the single most important intervention to reduce the risk of SIDS

Unexpected death of a baby in a dream is a rare phenomenon, in Russia registered only 43 cases per 100,000 children born . However, safe sleep management should be given attention even if it saves the life of at least one child!

Sources of information about the safe organization of children's sleep

In Russia, unfortunately, a targeted unified campaign to inform parents has never been carried out, there is very little information in open sources. That is why we were forced to turn to foreign sources, in particular:

• American Academy of Pediatrics www.aap.org
• American Academy of Sleep Medicine www.sleepeducation.com
• American National Sleep Foundation www.sleepfoundation.org
• National Sleep Research Center www.nhlbi.hih.gov
• UNICEF UK www.inicef.org.uk
• Infant Sleep Information Source www.isisonline.org.uk
• Consumer reports www.consumerreports.org
• Consumer Product Safety Commission www. cpsc.org
• SIDS American Institute www.SIDS.com
• SIDS Alliance www.firstcandle.com

We have analyzed all the recommendations and structured them. We have prepared for you webinar , article, checklist and memo , for information on important steps to take to protect your little one from the risk of SIDS and suffocation.

Shared room with parents

One of the first questions parents ask before their baby is born is where will the baby sleep? It is important to know that sleeping in the same room with parents for at least 6 months is much more comfortable and safer! It is important to understand that sleeping in the same room as the baby reduces the risk of SIDS by 50%

You will be able to hear and respond quickly if your baby is crying, spitting up or having trouble breathing. In Russia, almost 100% choose to sleep in the same room with a baby up to 1 year old.

Is it dangerous to take a child to bed with you?

Adults have taken in children since time immemorial! It's as old as the world! Since ancient times, children and parents slept together for the sake of warmth and comfort. But the term "sleep a baby" has been known since ancient times. What does this mean? These are situations in which a mother, having put the child to sleep next to her, breastfeeding him, falls asleep and accidentally (unintentionally!) presses the baby’s nose and mouth with her breast or other part of the body, as a result of which the child cannot breathe. The prevention of this situation was part of the task of the zemstvo doctors of tsarist Russia, as well as pediatricians of young Soviet Russia, from whom propaganda posters remained.

Over the past 20 years, scientists have devoted a lot of time and energy to the question: Is it dangerous to take children to bed with you? The issue of the safety of co-sleeping of a child of the first year of life in the same bed with parents or other people is the subject of active scientific research and controversy today.

Research results are of some concern. To date, there are extensive statistics of tragic cases associated with sleeping in the parent's bed. It has been proven that co-sleeping, even in the absence of smoking and alcohol and drug use by parents, is a high risk of SHS in an infant.

However, not all researchers support this view, focusing on strong evidence that co-sleeping with a baby supports breastfeeding. There is an opinion that the issue of the safety of co-sleeping with a child should be discussed carefully, adjusted for the cultural level of the family and the personal beliefs of the parents. A clear position on this issue is presented only by the American Academy of Pediatrics , which prohibits co-sleeping due to the high risk of developing ANSCM, especially in children in the first three months of life, even in the absence of alcohol and smoking by parents. This position was supported by Canada, Australia and Oceania, most of the countries of Europe and Asia.

Your best bet is to have your baby sleep right next to your bed. In a bassinet, bunk bed, or bed with sides, but not in your bed!

You will find it easy to feed and soothe your baby, and you will sleep better yourself, knowing that you have taken all possible measures to ensure that your baby is not in danger.

9 Safe Baby Sleep errors in the image above (right block):

• sleeping in a separate room
• side sleep
• head to bedside position
• pillow
• two blankets
• cap
• bed by the window
• cot stands by the radiator
• without pacifier

If you have consciously chosen Co-Sleeping

If, no matter what, you choose co-sleeping , you need to minimize potential hazards. Our recommendations will help you create a safe and comfortable environment and minimize the risk of trouble:

• Your bed should be absolutely safe for your baby. The mattress should be firm, even, the sheet stretched and fixed. You can not sleep on soft feather beds and water mattresses.
• Use bed rails to prevent baby from falling off
• If your bed is pushed against a wall or furniture, check every day for gaps between the bed and the wall where a child could fall
• The child must lie between mother and wall (not between mother and father). Fathers, grandparents do not have a maternal instinct, so they cannot feel the child. Often mothers wake up at the slightest movement of the baby.
• IMPORTANT! If you realize that you only wake up when the baby is already crying loudly, then you should seriously consider moving the baby to your own crib
• Use large mattresses so that there is enough space for all sleepers

• Do not sleep with your baby if you are overweight, this can lead to dangerous situations. How to check how dangerous your weight is? If the baby rolls towards you because the mattress is too sagging under you and a depression is formed, then you should not practice CC
• Remove all pillows and heavy blankets from your bed.
• Do not wear shirts and pajamas with ribbons and ties, keep long hair
• Remove all jewelry at night
• Do not use strong perfumes or creams
• Do not allow pets to sleep in the same bed as your baby
• Never leave a baby alone in a large bed unless you are sure that he is completely safe

Safe sleeping position

Often mothers of newborns ask questions: How to put the baby to sleep? What is the safest sleeping position?

It is important to know that there are no official recommendations on safe posture in Russia. Most pediatricians advise laying babies on their side, and for some diseases (for example, with special forms of reflux), they recommend sleeping on the stomach.

But before choosing a safe sleeping position, we want you to make an informed decision how to proceed. Therefore, we will tell you about each position for sleeping. Here are 3 poses, we consider:

on the stomach

+ GAZS SAME, Self -massage of the tummy occurs more, colic

+ The muscle corset
