For a 2-month-old infant, it’s important to prioritize safe sleep practices like:
1. **Firm Mattress: Use a firm mattress designed for infants. It should fit snugly inside the crib or bassinet without any gaps.
2. **Fitted Sheet: Use a fitted sheet specifically designed for the mattress to ensure a snug fit. Avoid loose bedding, such as blankets or sheets, as they can pose a suffocation hazard.
3. **Wearable Blankets or Sleep Sacks: Instead of loose blankets, consider using a wearable blanket or sleep sack to keep the baby warm without the risk of suffocation.
4. **Approved Crib or Bassinet: Ensure that the crib or bassinet meets safety standards and has not been recalled. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for assembly and use.
5. **Pacifiers: Consider offering a pacifier at naptime and bedtime. Research indicates that pacifier use during sleep may reduce the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).
It’s important to create a safe and comfortable sleep environment for the infant, free from potential hazards such as loose bedding, stuffed animals, or pillows.
