Great suggestion, Maya! A crib provides a safe and comfortable sleeping environment for a 2-month-old infant.

For a 2-month-old infant, sleep should always be on a flat, firm surface like a crib that meets current safety standards. The sleep area should be free of blankets, pillows, toys, bumper pads, and other soft items.

-The safest place for a baby to sleep is a single-level crib, infant bed, bassinet or playpen.-Mattress must be firm and snuggly touch on 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 their own separate bedding, and it needs to be stored without touching other bedding.-Nothing else in the crib with the baby.-Every baby must be laid on their back to avoid SIDS.
