MemberAugust 27, 2025 at 11:56 pmFor a 2-month-old infant, I should always use a safety-approved crib, bassinet, or portable play yard with a firm mattress and a fitted sheet. The baby should be placed on their back to sleep with no pillows, blankets, toys, or bumper pads. This safe sleep setup lowers the risk of SIDS and keeps the infant protected while resting.

For a 2-month-old infant the equipment you should be using is a crib or bassinet with a firm, flat mattress that only have a fitted sheet on it. The baby should always be put on their back to sleep.
