Hi, my baby is due in winter. I read that you recommend that babies arms be out of sleeping bags or if swaddling to use a light material such as cotton or Muslim. How can I keep my newborn warm enough at night in a house where we do not have access to heating if I am recommended to use light weight materials for swaddling? Thank you

Hi, my baby boy turns 4 months next week and he has started rolling onto his side during his sleep, and has now started to roll onto his belly. His head is turned out so he can breath. Is it safe to let him sleep in this position if he puts himself there or do i need to roll him back into his back. He can only roll from back to front at this stage and During the night and day naps he sleeps in his own cot in a separate room as we dont have space to put his cot in our room, which is only about 1.5/2m away from our room.

Do you have any information on ‘Period Breathing in Infants’? When does it become a problem? I believe my son has had 2 episodes in 10 days.

My son turns 1 in a few weeks and he cries during the night wanting to sleep on my pillow. I brought him a cot pillow today, how should I introduce it to him?

Hi, is it ok to use waterproof mattress protectors lined on the inside of a fitted cot sheet and what material would be the safest to use?

Hello, My bub just turned 8 months (born at 36 weeks and 5 days) and I was wondering if it is safe to introduce a comforter now? Bubs can roll tummy to back and back to tummy and has been sleeping in a sleeping bag since 10 weeks old. I’m finding that when he shows tired signs, I put him in his cot but the moment I do that, he becomes playful and starts to roll around. He also needs help to fall asleep by rocking either in the cot or in our arms. The comforter we have says is made of polyester. Thanks so much in advance.

Hi. My baby is almost 8 months old. I’m finding she’s waking a lot with a cold head and she seems really uncomfortable. If I lay her on the spare bed in her room she falls asleep straight away and seems content (I don’t fall asleep with her or leave her on the bed unattended). She has torticollis and I think the mattress is too hard for her and is hurting her neck. My mum suggested buying a low pile pure sheepskin underlay for the cot but I am unsure if this is safe for her to sleep in?

Hello! We are expecting our firstborn in July. I have just been given a "Natures Sway" baby hammock that is apparently used as a bed for newborns day or night. We have already purchased a cot that meets Australian standards for its design and mattress. A baby hammock doesn't seem to meet the requirements outlined for baby bedding on your website but is it ok to use? The hammock may be handy to move around the house so the baby can be near by in the day.

My bub can roll onto his side but not onto his belly yet. He has started rolling onto his side during nap time. Should I stop swaddling him?
