The "back to sleep" position is now recommended as the only position for every sleep period.To prevent positional plagiocephaly (flattening of the head)the infant should spend time on his or her abdomen while awake and for play.Loose sheets and blankets may be dangerous because they could easily cover the baby's head.The parents should be instructed to tuck any bedding securely around the mattress or use sleep sacks or bunting bags instead.The side-sleeping position is no longer an acceptable alternative position,according to the AAP.Infants should always sleep on a firm surface,ideally a firm crib mattress covered by a sheet only.Quilts and sheepskins,among other bedding,should not be placed under the infant.
