In accordance with current risk reduction recommendations, the following precautions will be taken to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome:
All children and infants will be placed on their backs to sleep on a firm, tight-fitting mattress.
Soft objects such as pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, stuffed toys or other soft items will be removed from the crib until the child is at least one year of age.
Crib sheets will fit tightly.
The infant’s head shall remain uncovered during sleep.
During playtime, infants will periodically be placed in the prone position (tummy time), to allow for appropriate physical development.
All substitutes and volunteers at Gummy Bears’ Daycare & Learning Center will receive SIDS training and follow the SIDS policy of Gummy Bears' Daycare & Learning Center.
