1.5245A.1435 REDUCTION OF RISK OF SUDDEN UNEXPECTED INFANT
1.6DEATH IN LICENSED PROGRAMS.
1.7    (a) When a license holder is placing an infant to sleep, the license holder must place
1.8the infant on the infant's back, unless the license holder has documentation from the
1.9infant's physician directing an alternative sleeping position for the infant. The physician
1.10directive must be on a form approved by the commissioner and must remain on file at the
1.11licensed location. An infant who independently rolls onto its stomach after being placed to
1.12sleep on its back may be allowed to remain sleeping on its stomach if the infant is at least
1.13six months of age or the license holder has a signed statement from the parent indicating
1.14that the infant regularly rolls over at home.
1.15(b) The license holder must place the infant in a crib directly on a firm mattress with
1.16a fitted sheet that is appropriate to the mattress size, that fits tightly on the mattress, and
1.17overlaps the underside of the mattress so it cannot be dislodged by pulling on the corner of
1.18the sheet with reasonable effort. The license holder must not place anything in the crib with
1.19the infant except for the infant's pacifier, as defined in Code of Federal Regulations, title 16,
1.20part 1511. The requirements of this section apply to license holders serving infants younger
1.21than one year of age. Licensed child care providers must meet the crib requirements under
1.22section 245A.146. A correction order shall not be issued under this paragraph unless there
1.23is evidence that a violation occurred when an infant was present in the license holder's care.
1.24(c) If an infant falls asleep before being placed in a crib, the license holder must
1.25move the infant to a crib as soon as practicable, and must keep the infant within sight of
1.26the license holder until the infant is placed in a crib. When an infant falls asleep while
2.1being held, the license holder must consider the supervision needs of other children in
2.2care when determining how long to hold the infant before placing the infant in a crib to
2.3sleep. The sleeping infant must not be in a position where the airway may be blocked or
2.4with anything covering the infant's face.
2.5(d) Placing a swaddled infant down to sleep in a licensed setting is not recommended
2.6for an infant of any age and is prohibited for any infant who has begun to roll over
2.7independently. However, with the written consent of a parent or guardian according to this
2.8paragraph, a license holder may place the infant who has not yet begun to roll over on its
2.9own down to sleep in a one-piece sleeper equipped with an attached system that fastens
2.10securely only across the upper torso, with no constriction of the hips or legs, to create a
2.11swaddle. Prior to any use of swaddling for sleep by a provider licensed under this chapter,
2.12the license holder must obtain informed written consent for the use of swaddling from the
2.13parent or guardian of the infant on a form provided by the commissioner and prepared in
2.14partnership with the Minnesota Sudden Infant Death Center.
2.15(e) A license holder must be able to show a safe sleep space readily available for
2.16each infant present in the license holder's care. Each safe sleep space must meet the
2.17requirements of this subdivision.
