How many stuffed animals can be in my child’s crib?
None! Loose blankets, stuffed animals, pillows, and soft bumpers can all be risk factors for suffocation when left in your child’s crib. Use the toys for playtime and entertaining them or as mobiles hung above the crib for them to watch. Never leave an unattended baby with any of these objects. It is just not safe to do so. They will have plenty of time to enjoy and interact with stuffed animals in their childhood, so save them for this purpose. Infants do not need stuffed animals in their beds or cribs, so play it safe and leave them outside of the crib or sleeping area.
