Safe sleep environments for babies

Suitable for 0-12 months

Key points

  • Safe sleep environments protect baby airways during sleep and make it easier for babies to breathe.
  • In a safe sleep environment, your baby sleeps on their back, on a firm, flat and level surface, in a clear space, not too hot and smoke-free.
  • Check your baby’s sleep environment at home, child care and any other place your baby sleeps.
