MemberNovember 25, 2025 at 9:42 pmThe safest place for a 2 month old infant to sleep is a single level crib, infant bed, bassinet, or playpen.
-
For a 2-month old, safe sleep involves a firm, flat surface in a safety approved crib, bassinet, or play yard, with only a fitted sheet and potential a sleep sack or swaddle until they show signs of rolling.
-
For a 2-month-old infant, I should only use approved safe-sleep equipment such as a crib, bassinet, or play yard with a firm mattress and a fitted sheet.The baby must always be placed on their back, and the sleep space must be free of blankets, pillows, toys, bumpers, or anything loose.No swings, bouncers, car seats, or any sitting devices are allowed for infant sleep under Washington State licensing rules.

Great job, Itzabella! Your emphasis on safety and adherence to guidelines is crucial for infant sleep practices.
