Title: Baby's safe sleeping position and environment You are the one to care
Narrator:
Let babies sleep on their backs
Sleep in their own cot
Dress them in light and comfortable wear
They do not need pillows
Leave their arms uncovered
Don't place any soft and fluffy objects in the cot
Leave no gaps between the mattress and the cot
Distance between the vertical bars of the cot should be less than 6 cm
Place the baby cot next to the parents' bed
If you need to share a bed with your baby for some reason, give him a separate blanket; for a baby aged less than 3 months old, you may place him in a basket
Don't take alcohol or drugs if you are to sleep with babies.
Keep good ventilation and a comfortable temperature. There should not be any smokers in the family
Don't leave babies alone on a bed or sofa without guards
Lastly, breastfeeding can protect against SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome in subtitle), after feeding and burping the babies, put them in the cot when they look sleepy. That helps them build a good sleeping habit.
