Crib Safety

Crib safety involves ensuring the crib is designed and used to protect infants from injury or suffocation. Key precautions include choosing a sturdy, properly assembled crib with a firm mattress that fits snugly to prevent gaps where a baby could become trapped. Avoid placing pillows, loose bedding, or stuffed animals inside to reduce risk of suffocation or suffocation hazards. Keep all hardware secure and avoid drop-sided cribs, which are banned in many places. Always position the crib away from cords, window blinds, or objects that could fall. Regularly inspect for damage or wear, and follow current safety guidelines to create a secure sleeping environment.
