Breastfeeding and Safe Sleep
Breastfeeding and Safe Sleep
Breastfeeding has many benefits. It also works together with safe sleep to reduce your baby’s risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and sleep-related infant death. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies are fed human milk exclusively for six months and continuing to 2 years or beyond (with foods added at about six months). Families can also keep baby safe during sleep by following the infant safe sleep guidelines. The resources below will help you learn more about breastfeeding and safe sleep and find support.
