Placing a crib net over the top of the crib can prevent the child from climbing out and falling, while still allowing the child to move freely within the crib. Removing objects from around the crib can also reduce the risk of injury if the child does climb out, but it may not necessarily prevent the behavior. Omitting the afternoon nap or restraining the child are not appropriate or safe solutions.
