Remove them altogether when you baby is able to sit up. That includes crib mobiles - even they need to be hung out of your baby's reach. Don't hang anything near your baby's crib with strings or ribbons.Also, don't put a crib under shelves or anything heavy that could fall off the wall and onto your baby.
Place cribs as far away from all electrical cords as possible. Babies and toddlers can get caught in drapes or window blind cords - even fall through window screens. Also, follow these safety guidelines as you place the crib. The best place to put the crib is near the door of your baby's room so you can quickly reach them when you're stumbling around in the middle of the night, or in case of an emergency.
