Brief Answer: Large space + no sharp objects... Detailed Answer: Hi, Your baby will need some more times to turn over on her stomach. So chances of falls and injuries are less likely at this point of time. Nevertheless, I suggest the following 3 tips: 1. Never leave the baby unmonitored for long time. 2. Keep all sharp objects away from the vicinity of child. 3. If feasible rail the babies cot / bed at most time. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications. Regards
