Babies can suffocate in soft bedding so get it out of the crib, pillows, comforters, sheepskins.
Now, here's how you should put your baby to bed. Take your adorable baby and put him on his back on a firm, flat mattress, with no soft bedding in the crib and a crib that meets all CPSC standards. Your baby may also sleep or spend time in a play yard. New models should meet safety standards, but older models may have been recalled. If you're using an older play yard, make sure the side rails lock automatically and check for exposed hardware, that a baby's clothing could catch on.
