be signed by the parent.
be signed by the infants licensed health care provider.
not be implemented until the written instructions are received.

Explanation:

Analyze regulatory requirements

Under standard Childcare Regulations, infants must sleep on their backs. If a medical condition prevents this, strict documentation is required to avoid Legal Liability.

Evaluate the options

• Include an end date: Medical waivers for sleep positions typically require an expiration or review date.
• Be signed by the parent: Parents must authorize any deviation from standard care.
• Be signed by the infant's licensed health care provider: A medical professional must legally authorize alternative sleep positions.
• Not be implemented until the written instructions are received: Childcare providers cannot alter sleep positions without having the physical document on file first.

All four conditions are standard legal and regulatory requirements for alternative sleep arrangements.
