Play is very important for a baby.

Through it they can be creative.

They are also able to develop both their physical and emotional strength.

During the day as the baby plays and rests in the baby playpen, they can fall asleep.

The playpen is a good place for the baby to sleep since the adult will be around to watch the whole time.

Playpens are used by the caregivers as substitutes for full size cribs when the babies fall asleep.

The question that comes up is whether the playpen is a safe place for the baby to sleep at night.

The baby can sleep in a playpen during the night but with many measures in place.

Some dangers to be aware of in a  baby  Playpen, especially when a baby sleeps at night, include:

• Collapsed side rails. This trapped the baby 

• Trapped babies in broken and damaged baby  Playpen

• The large mesh on the play fence, buttoned to the child's clothes, eventually suffocates

• Soft toys and bedding in the baby playpen can cause suffocation while the baby is there

• An ill-fitting mattress can cause babies to get caught in the middle and suffocate

• Curtains can cause choking when the fence is placed too close to the window
