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

    A crib or playpen with a firm mattress— make sure the mattress and the walls have no gaps.

    Use a crib or bassinet with a firm mattress, and consider swaddles or sleep sacks. Always place the baby on their back to sleep!

    Recommended Sleep Equipment for a 2-Month-Old Infant

    1. Crib, Bassinet, or Play Yard

      • Must have a firm, flat mattress covered with a fitted sheet.

      • Must meet current safety standards (e.g., Consumer Product Safety Commission – CPSC).

      • No drop-side cribs (they are banned in the U.S.).

    2. Sleep Surface

      • Should be firm (soft bedding increases the risk of suffocation).

      • No extra bedding, pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals.

    3. Swaddle or Sleep Sack (if appropriate)

      • Swaddling can be used for young infants before they start rolling (usually around 3–4 months).

      • A sleep sack is a safer alternative to loose blankets.

    4. Pacifier (Optional, but Recommended for Safe Sleep)

      • Helps reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

      • Should not have attachments (e.g., stuffed animals or clips).

    What to AVOID

    No swings, car seats, or bouncers for routine sleep. No co-sleeping or bed-sharing. No soft surfaces like couches, adult beds, or pillows.
