There is nothing easy about putting a baby to bed<\/a> when they are new – but it\u2019s not because this is a bad thing! It\u2019s because you\u2019re also new to parenting. We\u2019re constantly bombarded with these weird societal expectations that the moment a baby is born, we\u2019re supposed to know exactly how to settle them and make them sleep independently. Newsflash, Mama: babies do not listen to books and instructions. They are little people and they will eat, sleep, cry, and poop on their schedule.<\/p>\n In the movies, we see babies get put into cots often adorned in cot bumpers. So we know that these are fictional babies who seem to sleep easily because cot bumpers are dangerous – it\u2019s not real life. So, you need to create a sleeping environment for your baby that\u2019s safe to help them get a truly secure night of sleep. From putting them in the best-weighted sleep sack baby accessory you can find, to making sure that their mattress is firm with no loose covers, you can create the most satisfying sleeping environment ever for your child. Let\u2019s dive in and see how you can create that environment below:<\/p>\n Creating a safe sleep environment for your baby is crucial for their health and safety. By following these guidelines from the AAP and incorporating good sleep practices, you can help reduce the risk of sleep-related incidents and ensure your baby sleeps soundly.<\/p>\n Remember, a well-rested baby is happy, and safe sleep practices contribute to their overall well-being.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAAP Recommendations for Safe Sleep<\/h4>\n
