  • Place infants to sleep on their backs

  • Use a firm, tight-fitting mattress

  • Never use extra padding, blankets, or pillows under baby

  • Remove pillows or thick comforters

  • Positioning devices are not necessary and can be deadly

  • Regularly check crib for loose, missing, or broken parts

  • Do not try to fix a broken crib

  • Place cribs or playpens away from windows to avoid window covering or fall hazards
