How to Create a Thoughtful Safe-Sleep Gift Set

A thoughtful sleep gift should support a simple routine and an uncluttered sleep space—not fill the crib with decorative products.

A useful set might include fitted sheets made for the exact mattress, an age-appropriate non-weighted wearable blanket, blackout curtains, and a sound machine positioned away from the sleep space. A monitor may help parents observe their baby, but it does not replace safe-sleep practices or adult supervision.

Babies should be placed on their backs on a firm, flat, safety-approved sleep surface covered only by a fitted sheet. Pillows, loose blankets, bumpers, positioners, and stuffed animals should remain outside the sleep space.
