For a 2 month old infant, safe sleep equipment includes a crib, bassinet, or portable play yard. A swaddle or sleep sack is optional as long as it is light and breathable. There should be no pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals in their sleep environment.

Safe Sleep Equipment for a 2-Month-Old Infant Crib, Bassinet, or Portable Crib: Use a safety-approved crib, bassinet, or portable crib (such as a play yard) that meets current safety standards. Firm, Flat Mattress: The mattress should be firm and fit snugly in the sleep space, with no gaps around the edges. Fitted Sheet: Only use a tight-fitting, crib-sized fitted sheet on the mattress. No Soft Bedding or Objects: Do not use pillows, blankets, quilts, stuffed animals, bumpers, or sleep positioners in the sleep area. Sleep Sack or Swaddle: Dress the baby in a wearable blanket (sleep sack) or a swaddle designed for infants, making sure it’s not too tight and the baby’s hips can move. Back Sleeping Position: Always place the baby on their back for every sleep, both naps and nighttime. Why? These guidelines help reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related dangers.

For a 2-month-old infant, you should use a firm, flat sleep surface such as a safety-approved crib, bassinet, or portable play yard. The sleep area should be free of pillows, blankets, bumpers, stuffed animals, and toys to reduce the risk of suffocation or SIDS. Always place the baby on their back to sleep and ensure the mattress fits snugly in the crib or bassinet.

The recommended sleep equipment is a sleep space, such as an approved crib, bassinet, portable crib, or play yard, that meets the safety standards of your state. A mattress, bedding, clothing, and a pacifier are recommended as well. It is essential to avoid inclined sleepers like rock n’ play, crib bumpers, weighted blankets, and sleep positioners/wedges.
