    Referring to WACS 0290 infant and toddler sleep, rest and equipment & 0291 infant safe sleep practices.

    An early learning provider must transition children who are able to climb out of their sleeping equipment to developmentally appropriate sleep equipment. When parents do not agree with transitioning, the provider and parent will cocreate a transition plan.

    A single-level crib, infant bed, bassinet or playpen. The mattress should be snug so there are no gaps.

    Only place infants to sleep in an appropriate location, such as a crib, bassinet, or playpen. There should be no toys or loose blankets with the infant, and they should be laid on their back to sleep.

    For a 2-month-old infant, you should use a firm, flat crib, bassinet, or play yard that meets safety standards. The sleep surface should have a fitted sheet, and there should be no soft bedding, pillows, blankets, or toys in the sleep area to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Always place the baby on their back for sleep, following safe sleep guidelines.

    For a 2-month-old infant, it’s important to use sleep equipment that ensures safety and comfort.

    Safe Sleeping Position: Always place the baby on their back to sleep, as this reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). and <strong style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>Crib or Bassinet: Use a firm, flat mattress in a crib or bassinet. Ensure the crib meets current safety standards and has no loose bedding or soft toys inside.

    You use a single-level crib, infant bed, bassinet, or playpen. The mattress must fit snuggly and each child must have their own sleep space separate from each other.

  • Crib or Bassinet: A sturdy crib or a bassinet that meets safety regulations is ideal. Ensure it has a firm mattress that fits snugly without gaps.

  • Swaddle Blankets: If the baby enjoys being swaddled, use a lightweight, breathable swaddle blanket to help them feel secure. Ensure it’s not too tight and allows for some movement.

    A 2 month old child should sleep in a crib with a firm mattress or a play pin that has all toys or hazardous things removed.
