    For a 2-month-old infant, the safest sleep equipment is a firm, flat crib, bassinet, or play yard that meets safety standards. The sleep space should have a tight-fitting sheet and no pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, or bumper pads. Infants should always be placed on their backs to sleep to reduce the risk of SIDS. Swaddles or sleep sacks can be used if needed, but the sleep environment should always stay simple and safe.

    A 2 month-old infant should always sleep in an approved crib or bassinet with a firm mattress that fits snug inside the crib.

    A 2-month-old infant should sleep in a safety-approved crib, bassinet, or play yard with a firm mattress and a fitted sheet. The sleep area should be free of blankets, pillows, bumpers, and toys. Always place the baby on their back to sleep to reduce the risk of SIDS.

    A single-level crib, infant bed, bassinet or playpen. The mattress must be firm and the sides/rails would prevent the child from being stuck between the sides and mattress.

    A 2-month-old infant should always sleep in approved, safe sleep equipment such as a crib, bassinet, or portable play yard that meets current Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. The sleep surface must be flat and firm, with a tight-fitting sheet and no blankets, pillows, bumpers, or stuffed animals.

    A two month old should only use CPSC-approved cribs/bassinets with no loose bedding.

    The kind of sleep equipment that should be used for a 2 month old infant is a safe sleep approved bassinet or crib with a firm mattress, that is clear of obstructions like blankets, pillows, or toys. Make sure any infant under the age of 12 months is placed on the back to sleep, as some infants are unaccustomed to stomach sleeping.

    me I will have a safer place for a child to sleep A child should sleep on a firm mattress in a crib, bassinet, or play yard with only a fitted sheet—no blankets, pillows, or toys. Always place the baby on their back to sleep, in the same room as parents but not the same bed, and keep the area free from cords and soft items.
