After birth and during the first postnatal year, infants should be put in a supine position (on their backs) in a crib or bassinet to reduce sudden infant death syndrome.

The soles of the feet should be at the end of the crib and the body covered by a blanket or sheet up to the armpits, with the arms on the outside.

In addition, it is suggested that no pillow be placed under the head, as well as no other object next to the baby.

For safe sleep, it is also recommended that no one smoke in the room where children sleep.
