What’s the Proper Way to Bed a Baby?

According to the National Institutes of Health:

“Infants should be placed to sleep alone, on their backs, on a firm sleep surface, such as in a mattress in a safety-approved crib, covered by a fitted sheet.”

Other than the infant, nothing should be within a baby’s crib. Additional items put into the crib, such as toys, pillows and quilts, increase an infant’s risk of SIDS. This goes against public perception, where babies in popular media are adorned with cute hats and wrapped in stylish bedding.
