Make Your Baby's Crib Safe For Sleep

Your child will be sleeping in a crib for the first 3 years of their life, and with that comes LOTS of changes in what they can and cannot have within the crib. In this video I'm sharing my dos + don'ts for your child's crib to ensure a safe sleeping space, and of course...to keep sleep a thing for years to come!

I've been really enjoying your content a lot Becca. I've begun implementing so many of your strategies with my second child. Sleep has improved so much and we've only begun 3 days ago. Your content is really approachable and my fiance has even watched your videos and it's helped keep us on the same page, and more important CONSISTENT.

Hi, are crib bumpers really bad. My baby girl is 14 months old and we just recently transitioned to the crib but she keeps hitting her head on the rails and also on the back side facing the wall is all wood with no openings. Any suggestions on what to put there for more cushion and to prevent hitting her head on the hard surfaces? Thanks so much!

I missed your content on this channel, post more often please!!!

I have a question for you. I've seen my nephew who's 2 years old climbing out of the crib or trying to, could that be a sign that he's ready to move in a bed? Or what can we do in those situations in order to prevent accidents?

What’s your thoughts on crib mobiles that aren’t electronic and hang high enough to not be pulled into the crib itself? Will they stimulate development? Keep baby awake?

I hear ya with the boundaries and keeping the child in the crib as long as possible, but what about potty training? I want to do that closer to age 2 and I feel like being in a “big girl bed” will make that easier. Any tips about potty training while still sleeping in a crib?

Is it safe for a newborn to sleep in a bassinet all night? I'm worried because my babies mattress bassinet is no more than 2 inches if not less 🤔

Waiting until 3 certainly surprised me. I get your point but I'm going to have to think about that one for a while. Fortunately, my kiddo is only 3 months so I have plenty of time. I'm pretty certain I'll end up on board in time
