PREVENT SUFFOCATION

� Protecting Kids From Suffocation

� Protect kids from the dangers of suffocation by

following these rules:

� Never place an infant face-down on soft surfaces

such as a waterbed, comforter, sheepskin rug, or

mattress cover.

�

Never put an infant in a crib or on a bed with softbedding, blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, or plush

toys.



� Avoid pillow-like bumpers and consider removing cribbumpers altogether.

� Never put an infant down on a mattress covered withplastic or on or near a plastic bag.

� Make sure your baby's crib mattress is the right sizeand fits snugly in the crib. This keeps a baby fromgetting caught between the mattress and the cribsides.

�

Make sure your baby's crib sheet fits snugly on themattress to keep it from coming off and gettingwrapped around your baby's head. You also can buycrib sheet holders to keep sheets in place.

you practice cosleeping, be sure to f ollow the

safety rules.

plastic dry-cleaning bags. Tie several knots in

each bag bef ore throwing it out.

sandwich-style plastic bags out of the reach of

young kids.
