Safe Sleep Guidelines (Singapore MOH / AAP)
Always place your baby on their back for every sleep until 12 months. This is the single most important action to reduce SIDS risk.
Use a firm, flat mattress in a safety-approved cot or crib. No soft bedding, pillows, or bumpers.
Keep the room between 20–22°C. Overheating is a SIDS risk factor. Light, breathable clothing is best.
Room sharing (not bed sharing) is recommended for the first 6 months. An attached bassinet is ideal.
Breastfeeding (including partial) has been shown to reduce SIDS risk by up to 50%.
No toys, stuffed animals, or loose items in the cot during sleep. Simplicity is safety.
