What are safe sleep practices for babies?

Safe sleep practices include:

1. Sleep Position: Always place your baby on their back to sleep to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
2. Firm Sleep Surface: Use a firm mattress covered with a fitted sheet in a crib or bassinet without soft bedding, pillows, or toys.
3. Room Sharing: Consider room-sharing (not bed-sharing) for at least the first 6 months to promote safety while keeping the baby close.
4. Temperature Control: Keep the room at a comfortable temperature to prevent overheating.
