Although cribs are safe for newborns, they can look bare and uncomfortable, especially if you follow the recommended guidelines and avoid using any pillows or blankets. A bassinet is smaller and cozier, so it doesn’t look as sparse and big for a newborn.
Can a newborn sleep in a crib right away?
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the best place for a baby to sleep is in his parents’ bedroom. He should sleep in his own crib or bassinet (or in a co-sleeper safely attached to the bed), but shouldn’t be in his own room until he is at least 6 months, better 12 months.
What is the safest bed for a newborn?
Secure Bedding Your baby should rest in a crib, co-sleeper, or bassinet that is free of everything except your baby. That means no bumper pads, quilts, blankets, pillows, soft toys, positioning devices, or reachable toys with strings. Make sure the mattress is firm, and always use a tightly fitted sheet.
