Cassandra, you’re right! A crib with a firm mattress is the safest sleep environment for a 2-month-old.

When setting up a sleep space for a 2-month-old, safety is key. Use a crib or bassinet with a firm mattress and fitted sheets made for it. Skip regular blankets; try a sleep sack or wearable blanket to keep the baby warm. Offering a pacifier at nap and bedtime can be soothing and is linked to lower Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) risk. Keep the sleep area free of soft items like pillows and toys to avoid suffocation. Always lay the baby on their back to sleep, and consider using a baby monitor for extra reassurance.
