very weak neck muscles that are not yet able to support their heads. If you shake your baby you can damage his brain and delay normal development.

on his or her back, on a firm mattress covered with only a tight fitting bottom sheet (no padded

area. This includes pillows, blankets, quilts, comforters,
bumper pads, sheepskins, stuffed toys and other soft products

soft bedding; overlaying and falls from the bed.
BabiesBabies• Place baby in a car
safety seat every time he rides in the car. The safest place for his safety seat is in the back seat of the car. Children who are less than one year OR are less than 20 pounds should be placed in a rear-facing care seat.
