They should be sleeping in a single level crib with a firm mattress that is fit securely without blankets or bumpers. They can also be in a playpen on their back.

MemberApril 6, 2025 at 11:57 pmFor a 2-month-old infant, safety is key when selecting sleep equipment. Use a firm, flat mattress in a safety-approved crib or bassinet. Avoid soft bedding like pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals, as they pose a suffocation risk. Consider using a sleep sack or swaddle (if the baby isn’t rolling over yet) to keep the baby warm and secure. Always place the baby on their back to sleep to reduce the risk of SIDS. A baby monitor can also help you keep an eye on the baby while they sleep, especially if the crib is in another room.

Great job, Alexandra! Your emphasis on safety and SIDS prevention is crucial for infant sleep practices. Well done!

MemberApril 7, 2025 at 6:18 amFor a 2-month-old infant, you should use a firm, flat mattress in a safety-approved crib or bassinet with no loose bedding, pillows, or soft toys, as these can pose suffocation risks. The crib or bassinet should meet current safety standards, including slats no wider than 2 3/8 inches apart, to prevent the baby from getting stuck. It’s important to place the baby on their back to sleep, which is the safest sleep position to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

A 2 month old child should be sleeping on their back in a single-level playpen, bassinet, or crib with a firm mattress and no blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, or bottles. The mattress should snugly touch the sides of the crib, etc. it’s in, and care should be taken that the baby doesn’t become too hot or cold.

MemberApril 17, 2025 at 11:20 pmSleep equipment that is appropriate for a 2 month old infant would be a bassinet, crib, or play pin with a firm bottom. Areas that you should avoid having a 2 month old sleep would be a couch, swing or car seat (unless already in the car).
