    For a 2-month-old infant, I should use approved infant sleep equipment, such as a crib, bassinet, playpen, or infant bed that meets safety standards. The infant must be placed on their back to sleep on a firm, flat mattress that fits snugly, with no loose bedding, pillows, toys, or soft items in the sleep space.Infants should not be allowed to sleep in swings, car seats, bouncers, or similar equipment. Using approved sleep equipment and following safe sleep practices helps reduce the risk of SIDS and keeps infants safe while in care.

      Great point, Tereza! A single crib ensures safety, and avoiding stuffed animals is important for reducing suffocation risks.

    They should be placed on their back in a crib with a firm mattress & fitted sheet. Or a bassinet or playpen.

    For a 2-month-old baby, DCYF requires approved sleep equipment such as a crib, bassinet, or play yard. The infant must be placed on their back on a firm mattress with no loose items.

    For a 2-month-old infant, you must use a crib, bassinet, or portable crib that meets current safety standards.The rules are strict about this. You cannot let the baby sleep in a swing, bouncer, car seat, or any piece of equipment they aren’t lying flat in. The goal is to keep the airway open and reduce the risk of sleep-related death.

    They will need a safe space to sleep which would be a bassinet or crib, fitted sheet that fits the mattress so that it isn’t loose, a pacifier if needed (but remove when they are sleeping), and no extra blankets.
