With the right sleep essentials, you can create a peaceful bedtime routine that helps your baby (and you) rest better.

How can I create a safe sleep environment for my baby?
Safety and comfort go hand in hand. Here are simple steps that can help your baby sleep more soundly and securely:
- Use a firm, flat sleep surface like a bassinet or crib with a tight-fitting mattress
- Keep the sleep space clutter-free—no pillows, blankets, toys, or bumpers
- Always place the baby on their back for every sleep, including naps
- Maintain a comfortable room temperature to avoid overheating
- Use a sleep sack or swaddle instead of loose bedding
- Install a bed rail (for toddlers) to prevent accidental falls
- Choose a soft night light to reduce disruption during nighttime checks
- Supervise the use of soothers and keep cords out of reach
What’s the difference between a bassinet and a crib?
Bassinet is smaller, portable, and designed for newborns up to about 4-6 months. It is ideal for keeping the baby close during the early months. Meanwhile, a crib is larger, stationary, and built to accommodate babies and toddlers up to 2-3 years or more; it provides a long-term sleep solution.
