We are the leading authority in Australia for safe sleep for babies, safer pregnancy advice, and bereavement support for anyone affected by the death of a baby or child.
Since 1977, we have worked to reduce the rate of SIDS across Australia by a massive 80% or over 11,000 babies saved.
A Red Nose Safer tick means that our team have assessed the product against Red Nose’s six safe sleep recommendations.
Red Nose Safe Sleep Recommendations
To reduce the risks of SIDS and fatal sleep accidents:
1. Always place baby on their back to sleep
2. Keep baby’s face and head uncovered
3. Keep baby smoke free, before and after birth
4. Safe sleeping environment, night and day
5. Sleep baby in their own safe sleep space in the parent or caregiver’s room for the first 6 months
6. Breastfeed baby
