Is the “living textiles smart dri fitted mattress protector” safe to use ? Or, is it safer to not use a mattress protector at all ? I have posted the link below to the mattress protector. https://livingtextiles.com.au/collections/smart-dri-mattress-protectors

Hello, I work at a childcare centre. I was wondering if there is a recommendation of how often cot mattresses are replaced in order to reduce the risk of SIDS. Our mattresses are never in storage and are always elevated. Many thanks

Do we dress baby according to the room temperature at start of night? Our baby will be born mid August in Canberra and our place is nicely insulated but can get colder as night progresses. Do we add more layers during the night? The room temperature in April stays in the 22-25 degrees region.

I have a 4 week old girl and I feel she is fighting the swaddle She lost her startle reflex already and is showing signs of trying to roll. Is it too early to be in a swaddle bag with arms out? Can she be already be trying to roll at such a young age? Regards, -Jess

My 9 week old moves her face to the side of the bassinet and licks it for comfort, she is wrapped. Should I be moving her to a cot?

Hi, My baby has rolled twice from back to front and is 3.5 months. He rolled front to back when 3momths so he is now unswaddled. I was reading it’s time to move to cot although the cot cannot fit in our room ? So therefore I cannot sleep next to him. What’s the best option ? Thank you

My 10 week old premmie (10 days corrected) has started rolling from his stomach to his back, do we need to stop swaddling him for sleep time? Or is it only when he rolls from his back to his stomach? Thank you

I am wanting to know what the policy for softer mattress toppers underneath a fitted sheet for children over one is? Is it still discouraged to use them to make the mattress softer?

We have a 16 month old child start at our child care centre -who has a sleeping bag with no arm holes and the arms are tucked inside the bag. Is this safe for that aged child to sleep in this kind of sleeping bag while at the centre? Or is an arms free sleeping bag a safer option for this age group?

Hi! I was just wondering if a weighted swaddle suit was OK for a 3 week old to wear whilst sleeping? Baby loves being held and whist doing some research online we have found that weighted swaddle suits can give baby the effect of being held, therefore baby sleeps better. I was just wondering your opinion on the matter. Thanks in advance

What is the reason for the recommendation for moving a baby to a cot once they roll? We have a large bassinet and our baby is 14 weeks and rolling- now unswaddled. Many thanks.
