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

Is it safe to use a mesh mosquito net around a cot for a 2 month old baby that has a cot canopy that the net attaches to

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? Like this product: https://www.target.com.au/p/ergo-pouch-cocoon-swaddle-bag-2-5-tog/68287610?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw_sq2BhCUARIsAIVqmQuh1lzA2VCx7swR2pKGhxooU8P09TqoZfQouoJiTluaAYD-6MODuUUaAnenEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Is it safe to leave a cup of water in my 12-month-old’s crib overnight? We have the B.Box spill-proof straw cup .

I am enquiring on behalf of an early childhood setting. We have a child who is 10 months of age and the parents have requested they sleep with a comfort toy. Are there guidelines around what age it is safe to allow children to have soft toys in their cot? Thank you

Can my 12 week old sleep in a separate room for day naps if we use a monitor and sock monitor? She does have reflux but I monitor her regularly. It is so hard creating an environment conducive to sleep in a shared space with a toddler. It is affecting everyone.

Hi I am unsure how to dress baby when it is warmer at bed time and then cool from midnight or early am, especially when they sleep through the night and therefore doesn't get into a change of clothing. Some say baby should wear enough for the coldest time of the night. However, that would be too warm for when baby goes to bed. Therefore, I am confused on what to do. Eg. 25 degrees in the room around 7pm bedtime, and 19 degrees after 2 am.

I'm hoping to stain my babies wooden cot with a darker stain. Is there a safe stain/oil/whatever product for kids?

Hi, my 6.5 month old will only sleep with his hands covered with the inbuilt onesies and has just started rolling both ways. Is there a safety concern if his hands remain covered should he roll in his sleep? I’ve attempted to have his hands free on multiple occasions but it appears to be too stimulating for him. How long can I have his hands covered for before it becomes a concern? Thanks
