A 24-hour routine should look something like: 4-6 naps totaling 5-6 hours of daytime sleep and 6-8 hours of nighttime sleep with potential of nighttime awakenings for feeding.

children need soft, comfortable, warm and clean sleeping surfaces. Each child must have his own separate bedding and it needs to be stored without touching other bedding.

For a 2-month-old infant it is important to use a crib with a firm mattress that is snugly, with no gaps between the mattress and the edge of the crib.

Single-level crib, infant bed, bassinet, or playpen with 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

MemberJuly 2, 2025 at 8:39 pmFor a 2-month-old infant, you should use a firm, flat crib or bassinet mattress that meets current safety standards, with a tight-fitting sheet and no soft bedding, pillows, or toys. The infant should always be placed on their back to sleep to reduce the risk of SIDS. The crib or bassinet must also meet licensing and safety regulations, ensuring it is clean, secure, and used only for one infant at a time.
