I ate to protect the baby during sleep

Sleeping position

It is advised that healthy babies sleep on their back, unless their pediatrician indicates otherwise.

Cigarette

Research shows that babies of parents who smoke and those whose mother smoked during pregnancy are at increased risk. For this reason it is a good idea to stop smoking. Do not allow anyone to smoke in the house, car or place where the baby is. Babies whose parents or mothers drink or abuse alcohol are also at greater risk.

Temperature

The temperature of the room should be pleasant and comfortable for a lightly sheltered adult. It is important to avoid excessive baby clothing.

At bedtime

Children should sleep on firm or hard surfaces or mattresses. Soft objects like pillows, cushions, toys and others should not be placed in the crib.

To prevent the baby’s head from being covered by the bedding, cover the baby up to the level of his armpits, so that his arms are outside the blanket and / or blanket. Position the baby in such a way that his feet contact the edge of the crib so that he can not slip under the bedding.

Breast-feeding

Breastfeeding is a protective factor for the baby’s health.
