Great response, Liwen! A snug-fitting mattress and a warm, clean, and comfortable environment are essential for a 2-month-old.

MemberMarch 7, 2024 at 10:35 pm- Safest place for a baby to sleep is a single-level crib, infant bed, bassinet or playpen.
- Mattress must be firm and snuggly touch each side of the crib or bed to prevent the infant from becoming entrapped between the mattress and crib side rails.
•Each child must have his own separate bedding and it needs to be stored without touching other bedding.
Nothing should be in the baby’s crib, bassinet, infant bed or playpen, no blankets or toys, just baby. A pacifier is allowed.

The equipment that needs to be used for a 2 month old infant is a firm flat mattress in a safety approved crib with only a fitted sheet.

Great response, Jordan! It’s important to prioritize safety with a firm mattress and fitted sheet.

Consider using a pacifier and white noise machine. Avoid loose bedding and ensure the sleep environment follows safe sleep guidelines.
