Description: Safe #sleep practices and #swaddling are essential for ensuring the #safety and well-being of #infants and #toddlers. It is recommended to place infants on their backs to sleep in a crib or bassinet that meets safety standards. Avoid loose bedding, pillows, and stuffed toys in the sleep area to reduce the risk of suffocation or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). When swaddling, it is important to use a lightweight and breathable blanket, ensuring the baby's hips are loose and allowing for proper leg movement.
