Give your baby their own clear sleep space, without pillows, stuffed toys, loose blankets, or bumpers. Room-sharing is recommended; bed-sharing is not.
Place your baby on their back for every sleep, including naps and overnight sleep, until their first birthday.
Use a safety-compliant crib, bassinet, or play yard with a firm, flat mattress and fitted sheet — nothing else in the sleep space.
AAP guidance recommends keeping your baby's own sleep space in your room, ideally for at least the first 6 months.
The sleep space should look intentionally minimal — that is the point.
Check for sweating, flushed skin, or a hot chest. In general, babies need no more than one extra clothing layer compared with an adult in the same environment.
Choose a sleep sack that fits the neck and arm openings securely so your baby's head cannot slip inside. A roomy lower section allows natural leg movement.
Stop swaddling as soon as your baby shows signs of trying to roll. Never use a weighted swaddle, and keep loose bedding out of the crib.
