The most effective measure to prevent baby from falling out of the crib is to keep the crib rails at the proper height. When baby starts to pull up (usually around 4-5 months), lower the crib mattress to the lowest level. The rail height should be above baby's chest.
Another important point: when baby is sleeping in the crib, there should be nothing that could help them climb — no blankets, pillows, or toys. These aren't recommended anyway according to AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) guidelines for safe sleep.
As baby grows (around 6-8 months), many families transition from crib to bed. There's no set age for this; typically you consider it when baby starts trying to climb out or when the rail height is less than 75% of baby's height.
Never use bumpers, blankets, or pillows around the crib while baby sleeps — they increase fall risk and carry the risk of suffocation and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
