I’m expecting my first and my mother is still smoking. She says she only smokes in the backyard but this is near the door. She is very eager for me and the baby to visit at her home and to potentially stay for a few days... I have done some reading about the risks of SUDI and 3rd hand smoke and am concerned this may not be safe. I would like to know if this would be safe for the baby? If not, when could the baby stay and if she were to quit how long after could the baby and I go stay/visit?

My daughter wiggles all the way to the top of her bassinet with her head against the wood. I have tried swaddling, putting a blanket over her tucked in but nothing seems to prevent this. Is it time to move her to a cot and how can I safely either stop her from doing this or make it more comfortable on her head when she does do it?

When can I give my child a doona instead of a blanket?

Hi, I am wondering if the co-sleeper bassinet's are safe for sleeping or would you recommend against them. Is there somewhere I can find a list of the safest bassinets currently available on the market. Thankyou.

Hi, Is it safe to use a Moses basket for a bassinet for a newborn baby to sleep overnight? Thanks

I have a 13 month old. As it is getting colder, what is safe to put in the cot to keep her warm? Are a sheet and blanket safe or sleep suit?

I am planning to sleep baby in a safe cot from birth day and night. I wanted advice on products such as the Dock a Tot as a portable space for baby to rest in other areas of the home (always in my supervision). I am aware that babies should lay flat on a supportive mattress. Does this type of product for this purpose only pose any safety risks? Thanks

Can you use flannette sheets on a cot? I have a 4 month old.

Baby is 7months and for the last several weeks she has only wanted to sleep on her side. I put her down on her back but she will always roll to either side. I have tried rolling her back onto her back but she wakes. Is there a safe way to keep her on her back? Or is it okay for her age to be on her side? Also are mittens a bad idea? Her hands are so cold with this weather. But I’m hoping it doesn’t interfere with her rolling back if she manages to roll onto her tummy.

It’s getting quite cold at night. Can I put an underlay on the cot mattress (baby is 4 months)?

Looking for the safest space heater for my 9 month olds room. We live in a very cold part of the country and the cooler temperatures are waking Bub up. Need a solution that will accomodate when she’ll move into a bed and can move more independently unsupervised.
