Suffocation and Strangulation

Safety Tips

Plastic wrap, plastic dry cleaning bags, shopping and garbage bags should be kept away from baby to avoid suffocation. Never use plastic shipping bags or other plastic film as a mattress cover unless sold and intended for that purpose; these can cling to baby's face and cause death by suffocation.


Baby should never be allowed to lie or sleep face down on (or next to) pillows, cushions, adult comforters or adult waterbeds. Always pull drape or blind cords and decorative wall hangings with strings out of baby's reach to avoid an entanglement or strangulation hazard.
