PREVENTION TIPS FOR A SAFER CHILDS ROOM

Place your child on their back to sleep to help prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
   
Look for the Juvenile Product Manufacture Association (JPMA) sticker on your crib to ensure it has been tested for safety.
   
Be sure the mattress and bumper guards are firm and fit tightly in the crib to help prevent a child from getting caught between them and to help prevent suffocation.
   
Avoid cribs with cut out designs or decorative posts on the corners to help prevent strangulation.
   
Remove hanging mobiles from the crib once your child can reach up and touch them to help prevent strangulation.
   
Lower the crib mattress when babies can stand in their crib to help prevent falls.
   
Have all baby products close at hand on the changing table to help not having to leave your child alone.
   
Make sure all toys are safe for the age of your child to help prevent choking and injury.
   
Keep a lid on diaper pails to help prevent poisoning and drowning.
