Reminder!
DON'T place babies on their stomachs to sleep
Put them on their backs to sleep, this helps reduce the chances of them dying suddenly
Babies can be placed on their stomach when they are awake and playing and somebody is watching them
Please retweet to save a baby

Don’t use pillows, blankets, quilts, sheepskins,
pillow-like crib bumpers in your baby’s sleep area, and keep all those items away from your baby’s face.
They should also not sleep on adult mattresses or sofas, only in their cribs
This prevents Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

A baby lying on its stomach to sleep may choke!
Especially when there are extra pieces of clothing that could get into their airway during sleep.
So the cot should be free! The bedding on the cot should be fitted to the bed and not easily ruffled

The stomach position is the position with the highest RISK of babies dying
RISK O! RISK!
Also the side position is not a safe alternative because its unstable and babies can easily roll onto their stomachs

Trust Nigerians to shout "we did not die!"
Sudden Infant death syndrome is real and the guidelines I posted help to reduce the CHANCES of that happening.
Of the very few reported cases of death due to choking, most of the infants were in the stomach sleep position.
