My 6 month old has started to sleep face down in her cot with her hands under her face. I am worried if this will increase her risk of SIDS She is put down on her back in an arms free sleep bag but rolls. I try to move her face but worried if I miss seeing her in this position

Hi, was wondering at what age or skill level is it recommended/advised to stop using a sleeping bag for babies?

Hi My baby 7 months old loves sleeping with a little pillow (comforter) Yes childcare advise they can't have it due to SIDS. I was thinking if she just has it too sooth herself to sleep and when she is fast asleep they can take it away. Please advise as we are transitioning from home to daycare

I have a porta cot (to use when we are away from home) that has a very hard base and does not have a mattress included. In the instruction booklet there are recommended measurements if one is to be made. Would having a mattress made to those specific measurements be safe?

Hello, our baby is due in January and we live in hot Queensland. Will it be okay to use the ducted air and dress our newborn accordingly? I’m concerned an oscillating fan will still be too warm for a bub. Thank you!

Hello - I have a 5 month old who has just learnt to roll, and now loves sleeping on her tummy. We always place her on her back to sleep, but sure enough she rolls onto her tummy within a few minutes. We have an excellent, firm, breathable mattress (Ecosa) but I wonder about fitted sheets? I have been sleeping her on the bare mattress without a fitted sheet, because there were a few times initially where she would have one nostril pressed against the mattress and I wanted reassurance that she could breathe. Is it ok to sleep baby on a bare mattress. Or alternatively, which fitted sheets are best to use? 100% cotton? Bamboo? Thank you in advance!

6 month old is a confident roller, from tummy to back and back to tummy, also able to push self up into sitting position and is pretty much crawling. We use a sleep bag. He has started to roll onto tummy during the settling to sleep process, he places his face to the side, do we leave him in this position or roll him onto his back? I’m concerned that the sleep suit/bag could make rolling to his back on his own more difficult. Thanks!

Hi! I want to make sure I’m dressing my baby correctly for the warmer nights. Our baby currently sleeps in 1 TOG love to dream swaddles every night. Based off of their tog rating guide, should a singlet also be included in what they advertise them to wear? I have people say that they should always wear singlets under everything until they can regulate his temperature but I don’t want him to overheat. For example, tonight our bedroom temperature is 23 degrees and we have him in a singlet, a bonds wondercool long sleeve suit and the 1 TOG suit. Is this okay? Thank you so much!

Hi there, We would like to get an insert for our Britax baby car seat. Are these red nose approved and safe for the baby to sit in during car trips? If not what would you recommend for the baby's comfort and to hold the neck from moving too much in the car? https://www.babykingdom.com.au/britax-unity-infant-comfort-insert.html

I am currently transitioning baby out of a swaddle and have found transitional bags such as a Zipadee Zip and Sleepy Hugs which say baby is safe to roll while wearing them as they have full arm motion and baby can wear these into toddlerhood but I can’t find anything to say otherwise. Any help would be very appreciated!

My 2 week old will not sleep in her bassinet, only in our arms. Are there any safe alternatives to the bassinet?

Hey, a friend is wanting to use a Cozigo over her pram and also over her bassinet on the plane in a few weeks with her 6 months old and I couldn’t find whether it was Red nose approved. Can someone please let me know if these are considered safe or not? Thanks
