My newborn rolls herself (while wrapped) into a side position while sleeping. Is this safe? Anything I can/should do to stop her (eg place small rolled towels on either side of her body in bassinet)?

My baby is 11 months old and has hypotonia and plagiocephaly. He wakes frequently at night when not "swaddled" or held. He has only just started rolling but is expected to roll more and more in the coming months. Is there a "safe" way to swaddled or nest him in bed so he can sleep better and with more support?

Hello, Is there somewhere which lists the best cot mattresses to buy for safety? Is there a brand that Red Nose recommends? Currently we have a moses basket from "Nature Baby" with the wool mattress, however I am worried it is too soft for safety. The product information is in the link: https://www.naturebaby.com.au/wool-moses-mattress-nb3021-6709 Any advice about the best mattress for a cot would be helpful as I will buy that to replace the moses basket if safer. Thank you, Yvette

Hi there we are going on holidays to the uk for 45 days. I have been trying to find out safest ways for baby to sleep. Do you have any ideas? Most of the trip we will be with family in one place but then a week here and there.

As an early childhood educator in the nursery room. A parent has requested the 10 week old be left in the cot unless its for feeds. Surely this would be detrimental to the child's development as well as a risk of SIDs if child fell asleep. Any information or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Does it matter if baby's bassinet is directly underneath an air con vent? Should i point the airflow so it doesn't go directly on the bassinet?

As bumpers are not to be placed in the cot with an infant. My child is constantly banging her head on the cot bars and I I’m scared for her safety. How can I eliminate this?

Hi I have a 4 week old baby. My brand new Tasman eco amore bassinet is already peeling paint where there is most amount of rubbing when lifting and putting down the baby. Is the paint chips on the mattress a risk for my baby. Possible inhalation and ingesting of the paint chips. Also would putting masking/ sticky tape or cloth to cover the chipped area be a bad idea?

Hello my 9 week old daughter has been wiggling over to the edge of the bassinet and putting her face up against it which has me worried for suffocation, my friend said to put something under it so I put a folded wrap under both sides that may lift it to 1cm and she now stays in the middle of the bassinet, is that safe? I’m worried about sids it has me scared every time I wake up
