Crib safety is essential to ensure a safe sleeping environment for infants. Always use a crib that meets current safety standards, with slats no more than 2 3/8 inches apart to prevent the baby from getting stuck. The mattress should fit snugly in the crib, and it’s important to keep the crib free of soft bedding, pillows, and toys to reduce the risk of suffocation. Parents should also avoid placing the crib near windows, cords, or blinds that could pose a strangulation hazard. Always position the crib on a flat surface and regularly check for any loose parts or wear. Following these guidelines helps create a secure space for your baby to sleep.
