Safety Tips for Infant Sleep Products

First Candle reminds parents and caregivers that babies sleep safest when placed on their back in a crib, play yard or bassinet that meets current safety standards. Place your baby’s separate, safe sleep space near where you sleep for at least the first six months.

Remember – adult beds are not safe for sleeping babies!
