Creating a Safe Sleep Environment for Infants

I’ve been researching best practices for infant sleep safety, and I’m curious about how everyone else approaches this. I always ensure the crib is free of blankets and stuffed animals to reduce SIDS risk. Have any of you found particular sleeping arrangements or tools that help ensure baby safety during the night?

I found that using a wearable blanket instead of loose blankets really helps keep my baby cozy while reducing SIDS risks. It allows for safe sleep without compromising warmth. Have you tried that? @originalposter.

And i totally agree about the crib setup! I also love using a firm mattress to keep things safe — it’s like giving the baby their own mini fortress. Have you tried any specific sleep monitors, @lucy_g52?
