If there is a TV in the child's room, it also needs to be anchored. It is not just tall furniture that needs to be anchored-any furniture that has drawers or shelves needs to be anchored as a child can climb it or tip it over on themselves.

If your child reaches 35 inches in height and has not yet transitioned to a bed, it's time to make the change. For safety's sake, lower the mattress a level as soon as your child can sit upright, and again once your little one begins to stand. Remember to adjust your crib's mattress level as necessary.

Position the crib away from windows and other furniture that could pose a hazard should your child attempt to climb out of the crib.Never hang heavy items, like mirrors and large frames, directly over your baby's crib.Keep all cords at least 3 feet from the crib-especially the baby monitor cord-as they are a strangulation risk.Inspect your child's crib on a regular basis, ensuring that the mattress frame is secure and that there is no missing, loose, or damaged hardware.This helps prevent your child from overheating (a known risk factor associated with SIDS). Do not place a crib next to a heater or in an area that experiences direct sunlight.Mobiles should also meet the seven-inch rule and should be removed once your little one can push up onto his or her hands and knees. Longer lengths of string pose a risk of strangulation. Do not hang anything over the crib or in the nursery using a length of string that's longer than seven inches.

Remove all soft toys and bedding from your baby's crib with the exception of a fitted sheet and a thin, water-resistant mattress cover. Blankets, pillows, and bumpers of any kind pose a risk of suffocation and or entrapment and should never be used in a crib.No actual evidence exists to support these claims, and several infants have actually suffocated as a result of their use. Avoid sleep positioners and similar products -even if they claim to reduce the risk of SIDS.Once you are sure your crib is up to current standards, follow the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP) crib safety tips.
