Safest place for a baby to sleep is a single-level crib, infant bed, bassinet or playpen.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.Each child must have his own separate bedding and it needs to be stored without touching other bedding.

Single approved crib with their own fitted sheet with nothing else in the crib.

For a 2-month-old infant, you should use a safety-approved crib (single level), bassinet, or portable crib. They must have a firm and flat mattress with a tightly fitted sheet without soft bedding, pillow, stuffed animals, or bumpers.
