Sleep Safety Information

🛡️ Sleep Safety Matters

The Original Sleepy Hat™ is designed for supervised use only—like during travel, stroller time, or quiet wind-down routines—and when you'd normally dress your baby in a hat. It should never be worn in a crib, and is not intended for overnight use. (This applies to all baby hats, not just ours!) Please find the safety warning below.

⚠️ Sleepy Hat Safety Warning

Don’t leave baby unattended. Make sure to buy the correct size for your baby. Ensure product doesn’t cover baby’s nose or mouth. Do not use in cribs. If baby falls asleep while wearing product, remove product before putting baby in a crib. Do not let your baby get too hot. Remove product from baby’s head if baby appears too hot.

✅ AAP Safe Sleep Recommendations

Below are recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines for safe baby sleep more generally:

• Back to Sleep: Always place babies on their backs to sleep, for naps and nighttime.
• Firm Sleep Surface: Use a firm mattress covered by a fitted sheet in a safety-approved crib.
• Room-Sharing Without Bed-Sharing: Keep the baby’s sleep area in the same room where you sleep for at least the first 6 months, preferably the first year, but avoid bed-sharing.
• Avoid Soft Bedding: Keep soft objects and loose bedding (e.g., pillows, blankets, crib bumpers) out of the baby’s sleep area.
• Temperature Control: Avoid overheating; dress the baby in light sleep clothing, and keep the room at a comfortable temperature.
