In my opinion,  to create a safe sleep environment for babies, always place them on their back to sleep on a firm, flat mattress in a clear, smoke-free sleep space like a cot or bassinet, free from loose bedding, pillows, bumpers, or toys, and maintain a comfortable room temperature

Also important to follow recommendations from ACECQA & local regulator who do not allow babies sleeping in child care Services to be placed for sleep in a bassinet.
