Back to Sleep: Safe Sleep Guidelines for Your Baby

The Back to Sleep program (also known as Safe to Sleep) is a national initiative that teaches families how to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and promote safe sleep habits. The core message is simple:

Always place your baby on their back to sleep—for naps and nighttime.

This position keeps your baby’s airway clear and reduces risks associated with stomach or side sleeping.
