Apply strategies caregivers can use to ensure safe sleeping habits and the prevention of SIDS in infants

Central Objective: In early childhood education and child care centers, apply caregiver-focused strategies to ensure safe sleeping habits and prevent SIDS in infants. Supporting Elements: This page provides practical examples caregivers can implement, such as back-to-sleep on a firm mattress, room-sharing without bed-sharing, keeping the sleep area free of loose bedding and soft objects, maintaining appropriate clothing and temperature, offering supervised awake tummy time, and ongoing staff training plus family communication to sustain safe sleep environments and prevent SUIDS.
