 What an exciting time for you and your family. Hi, I'm Joan London. Learn the steps to ensure a safe sleep environment for your baby. Empower yourself with information, and be aware of how to access recall information that could affect your safe sleep choices. We at the Consumer Product Safety Commission are working hard to make nursery products such as cribs, bassinets, and play yards safer than ever before. To do this, we are creating strong product standards for cribs and other nursery products, doing away with the traditional drop-side crib design. We need to know that your baby is safe, and we are here to help. Keeping baby safe is a free, reliable information resource. We are a non-profit organization committed to helping you keep your baby safe. I'd like to share some simple steps that parents can take to make sure that baby is sleeping safely. First and foremost, always place your baby on her back to sleep. When babies sleep on their backs, their risk of sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, drops by more than 50%.
