Infant Safe Sleep Space Spot-Check Checklist

Use this printable spot-check to review an infant’s sleep space before the first sleep period and whenever the setup changes. The checklist covers a firm, flat mattress, fitted sheet, approved crib or bassinet, a clear sleep area, comfortable clothing, smoke-free surroundings, and an active sleep-check plan, with space to note corrections and follow-up. Educators can complete it before placing a baby down and record room, date, and responsible staff member. It supports consistent safety checks in infant care routines.
