Doctors recommend babies sleep on their back.
Why and how:
- Placing infants on their back (supine) for every sleep — naps and nighttime — reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
- This guidance applies for babies up to 12 months old.
- Do not place babies to sleep on their stomach or side; these positions increase SIDS risk.
- Use a firm, flat sleep surface with no loose bedding, pillows, bumpers, or soft toys. Room-share (same room, separate surface) is recommended; avoid bed-sharing.
- Follow your pediatrician’s instructions if a medically indicated exception is needed.
