It's #BabySafetyMonth! One important thing to consider when it comes to your infant's safety is what sleep products are potentially dangerous for babies. Inclined sleepers, positioners, crib bumpers, and other soft pillow-like products can cause suffocation and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). So instead, it is recommended that babies sleep without these products and only sleep on flat and firm surfaces. Stuffed toys should also be avoided.
To learn more, check out this guide here.
"The CPSC says that sleep products that incline more than 10 degrees are not safe. Soft and plush sleep surfaces are also dangerous. Inclined sleepers position babies to sleep at a 30-degree angle. Infants placed in these products may fall asleep in a chin-to-chest position, which can restrict their airway. They can also roll out of the devices and become trapped under them. Inclined sleepers have been tied to more than 100 deaths."
