Babies are not ready to sleep in a crib when they're born — instead, the safest sleep position in the first months is on their back in the same room as parents but on a separate surface. A newborn doesn't need to reach a certain physical or neurological maturity to sleep in a crib; from birth onwards they can sleep in a crib, as long as safety rules are followed: a firm and flat mattress, no pillows, no soft toys, no blankets (or a secured sleep sack). The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) and the Turkish Ministry of Health recommend placing babies on their backs from day one. So the answer is: the baby is born ready to sleep in a crib — the crib can be used from the first day when safe conditions are provided.
