There are some things that you can do to help make your baby's crib safe.

If you have a newborn it is recommended not to put up all the extras on the crib. None of the bumpers or extra blankets it could cause your baby to get too hot, or even suffocate. Don't give your baby a pillow until he/she is at least a year old.

Even though they make toys to go in a crib, when your baby is sleeping, you should remove them. If you have a toy that hangs from the side, just make sure that there are not any string that hang down longer than 10 inches. Also, it might be a good idea to move your crib so that it is not near a radiator or direct sunlight.

Your baby will be spending a lot of time in the crib, so why not make it as safe as possible!
