How to give your baby safe sleep in the first year of life If your baby sleeps well, parents get more rest too!!
1. The baby should be laid on his back. If you are using sheets, place the baby with their feet close to the bottom of the crib so that the sheet is level with their chest and armpits, with their head uncovered.
2. Bed or cot or cot must be safe and convenient to access. If you have bars, you should use a protection such as the crib contours made of soft materials and that allow air to circulate through the fabric. Toys, pillows, blankets or other decorative items must not be in the crib..
3. Mattress should be a firm mattress, of good quality and made of natural materials to allow air circulation. When changing sheets, turn the mattress and vary the positions so that it does not fit the shape of the body..
4. Sheets should only be one, the bottom, adjustable and in a fabric that allows the skin to breathe freely, such as bamboo or organic cotton. Even during the coldest season it is not recommended to use duvets or quilts for babies up to one year old..
5. The sleeping bag is the safest way to ensure that your baby stays warm all night long without uncovering and without the risk of putting on sheets or blankets to obstruct her breath. It must be adapted to the room temperature, so you will have to have more than one to adapt to the different seasons of the year (see table below).
They must be made of materials that help to regulate body temperature and allow the skin to breathe (such as bamboo, organic cotton or merino wool). Until the baby learns to roll (between 3 and 6 months), the swaddle is a very comfortable and safe option.
6. Temperature The room environment should be properly ventilated without drafts, not too hot or cold and should not contain artificial odors such as perfumes or candles. If you have a heating system in the baby's room, make sure the door is always closed so that the air can renew and not dry out. The ideal temperature for a baby's room should be between 17.8° and 23.3°C. The crib should not be too close to lamps, windows, heaters or in direct sunlight. Electric blankets and hot water bottles are also not recommended..
7. Pacifiers should not have the string or string attached while the baby sleeps to avoid the risk of strangulation. To sleep, choose a natural rubber pacifier that won't hurt your baby if you accidentally lie on it. Choose a shape that doesn't obstruct the nose and is one-piece, with no fittings or contours conducive to the accumulation of bacteria.
8. Try to ensure that your baby always sleeps in his crib or carrycot and never on sofas, soft surfaces, chairs or in unsafe places.
9. When the crib mattress is in the lowest possible position and your baby is standing with his chest above the rails, you may want to move him to a bed.
10. Avoid placing the crib near furniture or curtains that your baby might use to pull, climb, or put in their mouths. In the first few months, a crib next to the parents' bed can make breastfeeding during the night much easier.
