Our baby has significant reflux issues whenever sleeping on his back (he sleeps fine when sleeping supervised on his side or at an incline such as in a car capsule). We are aware of the safe sleeping rules for normal mattresses but wondering if there is any official position on whether mesh mattresses like the numu (https://www.numubaby.com.au/products/cot-mattress) allow for safe sleeping on the side.

My 6 month old baby has just started rolling onto her tummy through the nights to sleep but sleeps face down an dosnt turn her head to the sides, I keep putting her back onto her back but 5 mins after she rolls back onto her tummy. Should I be concerned that she isn't breathing properly or getting enough oxygen? I don't know what to do or if I should be concerned, im not really sleeping well because she is doing this. Shouldn't she be turning her head to breathe instead of laying face down?

Hi there, Is a UV shade safe to put over a pram (i have a redsbaby pram and they sell a spf 50+ shade which they say can reduce the heat from the sun”? If not, what can I use as my baby hates the sun in his eyes

Hi, we’ll have a newborn in late-November and I don’t know how to dress her at night for sleep in Perth heat? Do we put on the aircon (the vent is right above her cot though and I’m worried about that too?) or a fan? Will she be too warm in a sleep sack?

My 10 week old has started rolling front to back during tummy time. Do I need to transition him to arms out even though he still has his startle reflex?

My 7 week old struggles sleeping during the day and is like to get a total of 2 hours during the day unless they fall asleep on me during a feed but then has long stretches at night, sometimes up to 8 hour, is this safe to do so? We are so use to waking him up every 4 hours for a feed, so just confused now.

Hi! My 7 week old baby is ending up sideways in his Il Tutto Cozee Breeze bassinet. He manages to wriggle his way around and is often ending up wedged up at the side. The bassinet is only mesh long ways. The short sides are not mesh. He sleeps in a sleep suit either the love to dream swaddle or the ergo pouch. Any advice please ? Thank you

Hi, I have a 5-month old and she has recently started rolling in her cot. During the night, she has rolled and gotten her arm stuck down the side between the slats. Just wondering what is recommended in this situation as I'm worried about her injuring her arm. Thank you.

- is it safe to use a baby sleeping bag without arm holes? So the babies arms are inside the sleeping bag?
