The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Sleep safety is one of the most important topics in baby sleep. Here are the basic rules:

  • Baby should sleep in their own bed, on their back, for the first 12 months.
  • The bed must be firm and flat; soft surfaces (down mattresses, couches, waterbeds) increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome.
  • There should be no pillows, blankets, bumpers, toys or thick covers on the bed.
  • Baby's head should be uncovered; sleep sacks or sleep clothes are safer than blankets.
  • Bed slat spacing should be narrower than 6 cm.
  • The bed should be in the parent's room but on a separate surface (room-sharing, recommended for at least 6 months).

Turkey's Ministry of Health and AAP recommend these rules throughout infancy.
