I use fleece Halo… My little one gets cold at night so I’ve still kept him in the fleece for now even though it’s warm in Alabama and we have the air conditioner turned on. I have a muslin one too but since he still wakes with his hands like little ice cubes, I’ll just leave him in the fleece for now." The commission also "continues to urge parents to shop carefully and consult with their pediatrician before buying any product that claims to improve baby health or help with sleep," the statement added. When the temperatures drop and frost starts to settle, make sure your baby is snuggled up in this soft and cozy warmth. We know that safety is the number one priority of parents when they are making decisions about what products to use with the little ones in their lives who they love more than anything. We also know that sleeping is what allows your baby to thrive and grow, while good sleep for parents is also vital.

Getting unsafe products off the shelves will help make sleep environments safer, experts say, but parents and caregivers also need to learn more about how to keep sleeping infants safe and why the AAP cautions against certain products and environments. While some parents may know about safe sleep but choose not to follow recommendations for various reasons, others may have no idea their baby’s sleep arrangement is unsafe. Keep crib clear of objects that may pose a suffocation hazard. Loose bedding, blankets, quilts, soft toys, stuffed animals, and toys should never be placed in a crib while baby is sleeping. This also includes pillows and bumper pads. Parents may believe that infant sleep products are heavily regulated by federal agencies and must pass stringent safety tests before they can be sold. But that hasn’t been the case. Products that don’t fall into categories that have long been regulated, like cribs or bassinets, have been allowed to go to market without such safety rules. (Other regulations, related to additional safety aspects of a product, such as a material’s flammability, lead content and product labeling, may apply.) When new parents are exhausted and overwhelmed in the hospital or at initial prenatal visits, it can be hard for them to absorb all of the education provided,” Carlin said. “However, if we can create positive attitudes around safe sleep practices and provide education during pregnancy, parents are more likely plan to use these practices.”Place crib in parents’ bedroom until baby’s first birthday. You can move their sleep space close to the bed to make feeding easier.

We know how much your baby’s safety matters to you and that you only want the best and safest products. The policy statement, “ Sleep-Related Infant Deaths: Updated 2022 Recommendations for Reducing Infant Deaths in the Sleep Environment,” will be published in the July 2022 Pediatrics. The statement is accompanied by a technical report that provides the evidence base for updated recommendations, which apply to children up to 1 year old. The policy statement and technical report will be published online June 21.I like that they're long sleeve, so we just put the baby either in a onesie or just his diaper underneath, or in the winter we can layer…. Cheaper option than most too." The baby’s sleeping area should be clear of all objects, including but not limited to blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals. However, there are other methods to help with soothing to give that fourth trimester comfort that don’t carry any risk for the baby. A friend recommended Woolino and while it’s pricey, we love it. The merino wool works in all temps and it’s sized to last until our little one is two, so overall it’s been worth the cost." Supervised, awake tummy time is recommended to facilitate infant development and to minimize development of positional plagiocephaly. Parents are encouraged to place the infant in tummy time while awake and supervised for short periods of time beginning soon after hospital discharge, increasing incrementally to at least 15 to 30 minutes total daily by 7 weeks of age.

The evidence is clear that this significantly raises the risk of a baby’s injury or death, however, and for that reason AAP cannot support bed-sharing under any circumstances.” Though not all babies will see this kind of sleep success the very first night, many parents are seeing incredible sleep results within the first week while using Dreamland Baby. Jeanne Beacom, BabyCenter's Senior Campaign Reporting Manager, can attest to its longevity. She has used the Woolino for over a year with great success and plans to keep using it. She’s even bought the version sized for children age 2-4. There's also a big kid version for ages 4-6, which parents of older children appreciate, since many sleep bags are not available above a size 2.The goal of Dreamland Baby is to help eliminate those unsafe sleeping practices while still getting your baby the sleep he or she needs. Common unsafe practices you should eliminate as soon as possible: I just bought 3 Kyte Baby and I loveeee them! They are super soft & come longer than the Burt’s bees (the other ones we use)!"

A 2015 survey in Nebraska found that hospitals do not provide “consistent messaging” about safe sleep, and patient education materials and processes vary. A 2019 study, using data from an earlier survey, found that between two and nine months postpartum a majority of mothers nationwide had received advice from a health care provider on various safe sleep practices, but the topics covered by providers varied. Pediatricians and other health care workers can make a difference: The study also found parents were more likely to follow recommended practices if they were instructed on safe sleep.

According to the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP), soft objects such as quilts, blankets, or loose bedding can obstruct an infant’s nose and mouth and put them at risk of suffocation, entrapment, and strangulation. It’s essential for families and pediatricians to partner with each other, to build trust and have thoughtful conversations about how to keep children safe by lowering risks,” said Rebecca Carlin, MD, FAAP, who co-authored the statement and technical report. “We know that many parents choose to share a bed with a child, for instance, perhaps to help with breastfeeding or because of a cultural preference or a belief that it is safe. The American Academy of Pediatrics cautions that any loose bedding, pillows, and even stuffed animals pose hazards to infants because of the suffocation risk. Wearable blankets, alternatively, zip on and stay on. As long as it fits properly, there is no way that it can cover a baby's face. That's why wearable blankets are safe and loose (or free) blankets are not.Consumer Product Safety Commission officials are also involved in the work of the ASTM subcommittee. Though the CPSC sometimes creates its own mandatory standards for consumer products, it also regularly adopts voluntary standards created by organizations such as ASTM.
