[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If baby is awake and you are paying attention to them they can be anywhere, basically.

If they are awake and you are not paying attention, keep them away from choking hazards and put them somewhere they can’t fall off of (because they will absolutely spontaneously start rolling for the first time ever the second you leave them on a bed).

If they are asleep, they need to be on their back on a flat, firm surface, with a swaddle or sleep sack if they need it but no other blankets, pillows, bumpers, loveys or positioners of any kind.  They can have a pacifier, and in fact it has been linked to lower SIDS risk.  It also helps if you are in the same room but you don’t need to supervise them while they sleep, they just use your breathing and heartbeat to help regulate their own.  You can sleep or read or binge tv nearby and it’s all equally helpful (but you should sleep 🤣).

Yes. Of course you can have your baby on the couch with you supervised. Don’t let sids fear stop you from bonding, relaxing and enjoying your baby. [/quote]

You know you can bond, enjoy, and relax with your baby without endangering their life, right?

Putting a baby down to sleep on a couch is a stupid and dangerous idea.  Floor mat is okay but it’s far better for the baby to sleep in a proper bassinet or crib.  [/quote]
