Hi There, My boy turns 3 months in a few days, however, is adjusted age is just under 2 months. So just over 4 weeks early and he was a big boy at 3kgs, with no ongoing medical concerns. I am aware of the critical period of development, and the peak period of SIDS being between the ages of 2 - 4 months. When considering this do I use my boys adjusted age or birthday? Experiencing a touch of anxiety recently so have been sourcing some further information. Thank you

My 7 month old was in a hip dysplasia brace until he was 6 months, that prevented him from rolling. Since having it off he has started sleeping on his tummy. He can roll from back to tummy and tummy to back and is strong. My concern is that he seems to sleep face down at times in the night. I'm wondering how do they breath in this position. I'm much less concerned when his face is to the side. Should I be repositioning him? I've been watching the monitor like a hawk

Hello, I am expecting twins in December & I’ve read & heard of some conflicting advice about how twins should sleep. Some say to put them in seperate cots, others say the same cot is fine. What is the recommendation? I want to do what is best for the babies, I have no preference. Thank you!

My 5 month old can only roll onto his stomach and not the other way, at night I find him sleeping on his stomach. Do I need to keep waking him to flip until he can roll both ways ?

How long do I have to sleep my baby on their back for? At what age is it safe they sleep on their tummy? My 14 month old (is absolutely warm enough) but always rolls onto his tummy during the night, he's done this since he was 10 months old.

I'm currently pregnant with my first bub, I am trying to keep to all SIDS recommendations when it comes to sleep safety, however i'm having trouble finding reviews/recommendations on a cot mattress. Currently looking at the Love N Care Innerspring Mattress (from Baby Bunting). Any advice on this one would be greatly appreciated. Or advice on any other brand/model of mattress would be amazing too. Thank you!

I'm just wondering what to sleep my 1 week old baby in - I'm in Darwin and have my aircon set at 22. Is having her in a onesie, no legs or sleeves and a 1.0 tog swaddle arms in enough? Or should I put a blanket/sheet on top too? Thanks

My daycare has asked us to provide a sids approved sleeping bag for our 3mth old. Do you have a list of approved bags that I can view?

Hello My new born is transitioning into a cot soon and in regards to bedding, is it okay for her to have a few layers on her matress like, mattress protector, fitted sheet, mattress protector then another fitted sheet to speed up the cleaning sheet process for spit ups during sleep? She will be in a safe sleeping bag. If this practice is not safe bedding, can I place a washer tucked in near her head? She is 8 weeks old, not rolling yet

My baby is 7 weeks old and has started wriggling so much in his sleep that no matter how tightly I tuck the blankets he kicks them off. I am now putting him to sleep with no blankets in fear of him kicking them into his face. He now manages to wriggle his way to be squished sideways at the bottom of the bassinet. Is there a way I can stop this safely?

Are silk slips to help with hair loss safe? Websites such as silky tots say they follow SIDS guidelines https://www.silkytots.com/pages/faqs
