The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

When choosing a baby sleep bed, safety comes first. The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) and general pediatric guidance recommend that babies sleep in their own crib for the first 12 months, in the same room as their parents but on a separate surface.

For a safe crib, the essentials are: a firm, flat sleep surface, a fitted sheet that matches the crib size exactly, no pillows, blankets, bumper pads, or stuffed animals in the crib. The spacing between crib rails should not exceed 6 cm, and the crib must have a sturdy base.

Portable bassinets and co-sleeping devices meet safety standards and can serve as alternatives. After choosing the crib, the most important rule is: always place baby on their back to sleep, and keep the room temperature from getting too warm.
