It is safest to put your baby to sleep in the same room as you, but do not put them in your bed. Instead, place them in a crib or Pack ‘n Play next to your bed for easy access to them in case they need you. To keep them warm, use pajamas and a wearable blanket.

Keep the crib free from loose blankets, toys, diapers, and other supplies. Follow this advice for naps and for nighttime. Remember the ABC’s of safe sleep: Always place your baby Alone on their Back in a Crib.
