Discuss with: Your doc. No need to worry? Why worry? Discuss with your highly educated doc. Discuss pulse oximeter with alarm also with your doc. Should this be used? Ask your doc.

NO: Please continue to put her on her back, as directed by her doctor. Smoking shouldn't be allowed anywhere near her. Wash your hands prior to handling her. Love and enjoy her. (the last few pieces of advice are simply common sense.).

I plan to keep my baby in a bassinet in my room for month 0-6 to keep them near and to reduce SIDS. That said, is it safe to move my baby to a crib in their own room after month 6? Or is SIDS risk still high? I don't want to move the crib to my room?
