Crib in parents room.

The safest spot for infant sleep is on a firm. Getting your room ready for baby is about more than just making room for the crib. First it s important to set up baby s room for safe sleep. But now a 2017 study in pediatrics and recommendations from the american academy of pediatrics aap say that advice may be outdated.

This meant having a crib or a playpen in a parent s room but not co sleeping. You can accomplish this by painting an accent wall using a large area rug for the baby s area setting up cute nursery prints or photos of your family or even creating custom window treatments for that portion of the room. According to the american academy of pediatrics aap the best place for a baby to sleep is in his parents bedroom. Plus a rug can absorb sounds making it safe for tiptoeing literally around baby s sleep schedule.

If your baby s sleeping area is close to your bed move it away. Lay down a rug a rug can divide the room allowing parents to keep their tranquil setting while acting as a divider from baby. Have some fun with the decor to create the feel of a nursery as well. That means having a crib with a firm mattress and a fitted sheet and keeping it completely clear of bumpers toys and blankets.

The aap s official position is that the safest place for baby to sleep is in her crib or bassinet in the parents room close to the bed. Having some distance between you and your baby will help in the sleep training process especially if you use some kind of divider so that your baby cannot see you. My opinion is that a co sleeper is safer still since it eliminates any risk of baby falling between the bassinet and the bed if mother needs to pick her up either for breastfeeding or a short soothing cuddle. Previously doctors were recommending that babies should share a room but not a bed with their parents.
