A nurse is providing anticipatory guidance to parents of a newborn. What recommendation should the nurse give regarding safe sleep practices?


Correct Answer: C

A. Placing the baby to sleep on their stomach is not safe and increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Babies should be placed on their back to sleep.

B. Using soft bedding, such as quilts and bumper pads, in the crib increases the risk of suffocation. Infants should sleep on a firm mattress with no soft bedding.

C. Keeping the baby's sleep area close to the parent's bed for the first six months promotes safe sleep practices and allows for easy monitoring and feeding during the night.

D. Allowing the baby to sleep in the car seat is not a recommended practice for prolonged sleep. Car seats are for travel and should not be used as a substitute for a safe sleep environment.
