The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warned parents not to use inclined products for infant sleep and not leave infants in the products unsupervised, unrestrained or with bedding material, due to the risk of suffocation.
CPSC warned parents not to use inclined products, such as rockers, gliders, soothers or swings, for infant sleep and not leave infants in the products unsupervised, unrestrained or with bedding material, due to the risk of suffocation.
CPSC recently finalized a rule requiring that infant sleep products have a surface angle of 10 degrees or less. The rule goes into effect on June 23.The best place for an infant to sleep is on a firm, flat surface in a crib, bassinet or play yard. Parents and caregivers should use a fitted sheet only and never add blankets, pillows, padded crib bumpers, or other items to an infant’s sleeping environment.
Infants should always be placed to sleep on their back. Infants who fall asleep in an inclined or upright position should be moved to a safe sleep environment with a firm, flat surface such as a crib, bassinet or play yard.
