LPA also went over safe sleep for infants:

· Always place infants on their backs for sleeping.


· Use a tight-fitting sheet on the crib or play yard mattress.
· Do not hang any items from the crib or above the crib.
· Keep all items out of the crib or play yard.
· Pacifiers may be used as long as they do not have items attached to them.
· Infants should not be swaddled or have any items covering them while sleeping.

A $500 immediate civil penalty. An ongoing $100 per day per violation continues until the violation(s) is corrected.
