      Morgan, you’re absolutely correct! Safety is key for a 2-month-old’s sleep equipment. Great advice!

      “Great choice, Danielle! An individual crib with a firm mattress is indeed recommended for a 2-month-old infant.”

    • The safest place for a baby to sleep is a single-level crib, infant bed, bassinet or playpen.

    A single layer crib or mat with no bedding and a firm mattress. A sleep sack is ok.

    For a 2-month-old infant, it’s important to prioritize safe sleep practices to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related accidents. Here are some recommendations for sleep equipment for a 2-month-old infant:

    1. Crib or bassinet: A firm, flat sleep surface is recommended for infants to sleep on. You can use either a crib or a bassinet that meets safety standards. Make sure there are no soft bedding materials such as pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals in the sleep area.

    2. Fitted sheet: Use a fitted sheet that securely covers the mattress of the crib or bassinet. Avoid using loose bedding or soft objects that could pose a suffocation hazard.

    3. Sleep sack or swaddle: Many parents find that swaddling or using a sleep sack can help infants feel secure and sleep more soundly. However, it’s essential to follow safe swaddling practices to prevent overheating and ensure proper hip development.

    4. Pacifier: Offering a pacifier at naptime and bedtime has been associated with a reduced risk of SIDS. If breastfeeding, wait until breastfeeding is well-established before introducing a pacifier.

    5. Room temperature monitor: Keep the room where the infant sleeps at a comfortable temperature, ideally between 68 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit (20 to 22 degrees Celsius). Use a room thermometer to monitor the temperature and adjust bedding or clothing as needed.

    6. White noise machine: Some parents find that white noise machines can help mask environmental sounds and create a soothing sleep environment for infants. Choose a machine specifically designed for infant sleep and place it away from the crib or bassinet to prevent overheating.

    7. Safe sleep environment: Ensure that the sleep area is free from hazards such as loose cords, curtains, or other objects that could pose a strangulation risk. Keep the crib or bassinet away from windows, blinds, and cords.

    Remember to always place the infant on their back to sleep, both for naps and nighttime sleep, until they are able to roll over independently. Following these guidelines can help promote safe and restful sleep for your 2-month-old infant.

    For infants, the sleep equipment you should use is a single level crib with a fitted mattress, a playpen or another developmentally appropriate sleep equipment.

    Infants should be placed in a single-story crib, a pack “n” play up to standards with WAC requirements or a infant bassinet.
