MemberAugust 25, 2024 at 4:23 amThis baby should be placed in a single level crib, infant bed, bassinet, or playpen for their nap. The mattress should be firm and the resting place should be soft on the side and be contained by rails, netting, or soft fabric so the baby does not risk getting entangled. Lastly, and most important is that the baby should always be placed on their back.

Great response, Ryley! A single-level crib with a firm mattress and fitted sheet is indeed the safest choice for a 2-month-old infant.

A 2 month old should use a firm, single child mattress in a crib.

a single level crib or portacrib with nothing but a fitted sheet. Baby needs to be put on his or her back when sleeping.

For a 2-month-old infant, use a firm, flat mattress in a crib or bassinet with no soft bedding or pillows to ensure safety. Always place the baby on their back to sleep, and if swaddling, use a lightweight, breathable blanket without tightness. Dress the baby in appropriate sleepwear to prevent overheating and regularly check the sleep environment for safety, keeping it free from hazards like cords or blinds.

single crib, with a cozy and fitted mattress, have a sheet on the mattress and nothing else, make sure the baby is on its back.
