If you're using a playard, it should have sturdy walls and mesh windows for proper air flow. The crib's slats should not be more than 2 and 3/8 inches apart, to keep baby's head and legs from getting trapped. Do not put any toys, blankets, or toys in the crib. These items can cause strangulation or death to your baby. They must be removed when they can stand on their own, or before the age of five months.
