To ensure a safe sleeping environment, avoid heavy objects, use approved equipment, avoid stacking cribs, check for recalls and safety alerts, avoid soft objects in cribs, and clean and sanitize regularly. Place cribs, bassinets, or play yards in designated spaces, and ensure slats are 2 3/8 inches apart and no cutouts. Regularly check for recalls and ensure equipment is in good repair. Clean and sanitize bedding at least once a week to reduce illness risk
