It’s an exciting milestone for you and your baby — it’s time to leave the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and go home! But now that you’re heading home, what can you do to make sure you’re following safe sleep practices?
Our experts want your journey home to be as successful as possible. Often in the NICU, babies have breathing or positioning devices and may sleep differently than standard at-home safe sleep guidelines. But once your baby is medically ready, our specialists will walk you through at-home safe sleep practices.
In this video, learn how to create a safe and comfortable sleeping environment for you and your baby including positioning, crib safety and location.
