Do not have him sleep on his side or stomach unless your doctor says it is OK. When babies sleep on their backs, they are less likely to die of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). SIDS can happen when a baby cannot breathe easily.

This helps make her neck, back and shoulders strong.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Infant Car Seats<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>At least until age 1, your baby should be in the back seat in a rear-facing car seat.<\/li>\n<li>You can buy an infant-only car seat. Or buy a seat that can change to a front-facing seat later.<\/li>\n<li>Infants and children should never be in front seats with airbags.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid used car seats. They may not be safe.<\/li>\n<li>Never leave your baby alone in a car. The air can heat up quickly, and a baby can die.<\/li>\n<li>Always check your back seat before you get out of the car. That way you will not forget and leave a child in the car.<\/li>\n<li>For more on car seats, contact\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.seatcheck.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seat Check<\/a>\u00a0or visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.safekids.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Safe Kids USA<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.healthychildren.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Healthy Children<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>THINGS YOU CAN DO<\/p>\n<h3>Crib Safety<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Use a new, safety-approved crib.
