While the baby is in his/her crib, you want him be comfortable and safe.  Here are several baby home safety thoughts for the crib:

1.  Comforter’s and pillows should not be placed in the crib, as well as bumper pads.  If you must use bumper pads, use thin “breathable” pads.

2.  When your baby develops new skills, the crib safety should be reevaluated.  It is best to take the bumper pads out of the crib so baby doesn’t use them to crawl out.  Also, when the baby begins standing and bracing himself/herself hanging on to the rungs of the crib, it is prudent to lower the mattress to the bottom setting.
