BC Council For Families outlined some of the unsafe infant sleeping habits, and how it is becoming a public health concern (Read here). Instead of focusing on negatives, let's focus on what to do (as outlined be Erica Simmonds in the article):
Safe sleeping practices
- Place infants to sleep on their backs
- Place infants to sleep in proper sleeping attire
- Ensure infants are sleeping in crib, cradle or bassinet that meets regulation standards, and is properly put together
- Ensure there is no loose bedding, such as pillows, toys or blankets
- Do not place toys, cords or cables within reach
