When baby starts moving (rolling, crawling, pulling up), the risk of falling from the crib increases. The most effective steps are:

1. Adjust bed height — When baby starts sitting or crawling, lower the crib mattress to the lowest level. This makes it harder for baby to reach the top rail.

2. Crib slat spacing — The gap between crib slats must be no more than 6 cm — baby's head could get stuck.

3. Keep furniture away from the crib — When baby starts crawling, they might reach and pull tables, dressers, etc., losing balance.

4. Don't use bumpers or pillows — They don't prevent falls; they increase the risk of suffocation and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Use thin, breathable bumper guards only to prevent limbs getting stuck between slats.

5. Floor padding — Place a soft rug or play mat under the crib to cushion falls.

6. Never leave baby unattended — Even awake in the crib, watch your baby; they can suddenly lose balance while pulling up.

7. Toddler bed transition — When ready, use a low toddler bed or floor mattress only.

No single measure provides 100% protection. What matters most is knowing your baby's developmental stage and updating crib setup as they grow.
