A travel crib needs to be strong and well-constructed. Make sure there aren't any loose, missing or broken screws as well as other hardware. If you're using a playard, it should be fitted with mesh windows and strong walls to allow air circulation. The crib's slats must not be more than 2 3/8 inches apart to avoid the baby's head and legs from getting trapped. Don't put any toys, blankets or toys in the crib. These objects can choke or drown your baby. They must be removed as soon as they are able to stand independently or before the age of 5 months.

It is also essential to check often for loose or broken hardware and screws, particularly when you travel with your infant. Take all plastic out of the crib, too.

Feeding

If you have to utilize a crib for your bed, it's recommended that your baby be positioned on their backs and the mattress be free of blankets, pillows, and animals stuffed. Sharing a bed with parents isn't advised for any baby regardless of age, and this form of co-sleeping is linked to an increased risk of SIDS. If you must co-sleep occasionally, ensure that you do it only when your baby is asleep and you're at all times dressed and awake.

There are many types of cribs for newborns and babies.

Some are shaped as a mini-crib or Moses baskets, while others have sides which can be lowered into the parents' bed. This allows parents to access their child at any time during the night to comfort and feed their child, and avoid the dangers of sleeping with their child. The AAP cautions against this due to the danger of being suffocated. Examples include the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Bassinet, a bedside cot bed sleeper that attaches to the sides of a parent's mattress. This can also be a safer option for older children because the sides can easily be raised to let you reach the baby from the adult bed without lifting them out. Another option is a travel cot with an integrated bassinet that can be removed from the top of the crib, making it easier to lift up a sleeping infant for feeding or other care.

It was previously recommended that infants be in their own room. However, parents are increasingly preferring to sleep in a co-sleep.
