What is the safest bedding for a toddler transitioning from a sleep bag to normal bedding? Doona, quilt, blanket or something else?

My 16 week old is rolling has been rolling from her back to tummy for a while but has only in the last week started to roll from her back to tummy. I am moving her into her cot and using a sleeping bag with arms out. I was advised on a safe T sleep wrap as she is rolling onto her stomach in her sleep. Are the safe T sleep wraps safe to use?

My baby has started to roll at four months old. We are now transitioning him out of his swaddle bags to have arms out. We know the next step is to move him into his cot but are worried as we can’t fit a cot in our bedroom. We are wondering which is safer re: sids risk, putting the baby in a room by himself in a cot or putting a portacot in our room next to the bed for the next few months so he is close by (understanding that safety standards are lacking in portacots). Please help, we are worried what to do! Thanks.

My 5 month old is rolling ALOT both ways and wriggles around in his cot in his sleep changing positions. A few time now he has woken up crying due to getting his leg or arm stuck between the cot bars. I would like to buy an air wrap (mesh not padded) to prevent this from happening, is this a SIDS risk? Thank you

I am just wondering when to stop swaddling and what to use once stopping the swaddle? Also I have read you should move baby into cot after 4 months is this correct.

Are baby nests safe for newborn babies? Or are they a SIDS risk?

Hi. My baby just turned 7 weeks and I've just put him in love to dream swaddles. I place him on his back and then he rolls to the side (during light sleep I think). He was doing it when we tried the Love to Dream swaddles at 1.5 weeks old too. I am petrified to fall asleep incase he rolls into his stomach. I thought babies don't roll until they are at least 4 months old?

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?

The recommended age range of having your baby sleep in the same room for 6-12 months is a large range. How is this range justified ? I like to follow the evidence based recommendations but would like some more information in regards to the risk of moving my ten month old to a separate room (as she has outgrown her bassinet) and how this 6-12month recommended range is backed up? e.g why can't they be moved to a separate room at 6 months? We follow all other recommendations for a safe sleeping environment. Thankyou!

My son is 11 months old and a friend has recommended using a comforter. In particular a kippins comforter. Is this still a risk for suffocation at his age? What age can I introduce a comforter?
