Babies should sleep on their backs, not on their sides or stomachs. On their side, the position is very unstable and they can roll over or lie on their stomachs, which can be dangerous.
In general, babies need to sleep on their backs until their first year of life. When they learn to fend for themselves, they should be left in the position they naturally adopt.
WHERE SLEEP
SBP's guidance is for babies to sleep in their own crib, not in their parents' bed. The mattress must be firm and well adapted to the crib, covered with a sheet. If the mattress is soft, the baby may sink and his face may be covered, impairing breathing.
If you prefer, the crib can be positioned in the parents' room, which can make it easier to help if something happens. You can also use mobile cribs to transport the baby around the house and keep him close at all times.
If you're covering your baby, wrap the sheet or blanket around the mattress so it's tight and there's no risk of covering the baby's face. Always leave the arms out of the cover.
In case of more than one child, it is important that each one has its own crib.
OVERHEATING
Avoid wrapping your baby too much at bedtime, as this makes it difficult to move and can overheat. The room temperature must be pleasant. Do not place the baby's crib near air conditioning, open windows or other sources of cold or heat.
OBJECTS IN THE CRADLE
Do not place crib protectors, diapers, pillows, pillows, toys and other objects in the crib that could cover your head and cause suffocation.
