Are stuffed animals safe to put in a newborn's crib?

Across parenting communities like r/NewParents, the repeated guidance is that soft objects, including loveys and plush, should be kept out of the bassinet or crib for young infants for safe-sleep reasons. Reviewers note loveys are typically introduced later (often around 5+ months and under supervision), and some loveys are sold with OEKO-TEX certification, which speaks to materials but not to safe-sleep placement.
