Are you putting your young kids to sleep the right way? The State Department of Children and Family Services says there are a few easy steps to take to protect your baby. For a child under the age of 1 DCFS says sleeping is the number one safety issue. At that age babies and parents need to be following the ABC’s, sleeping alone, on their back and in a safe crib, DCFS’s Jennifer Florent.
Babies all need to sleep in cribs without stuffed animals, bumper pads or pillows and they shouldn’t be put to bed on a couch where they could roll over and suffocate.
