At what age would you consider it safe for siblings to sleep in a double bed together? Hoping it might help both of them with overnight waking.

We have a 7 week old who has started wriggling their way up in their bassinet - some mornings they have moved from the bottom to the top of their bassinet. They currently sleep with an ergo pouch tog with their arms out. Do you have any additional suggestions that may prevent our baby from wriggling? Thank you!

My 7 month old sleep who’s in a cot has started to roll on to his side and then on to his tummy while his asleep multiple times a night. Ive been turning him back over to his back which is interrupting both his and my sleep. Is there something that I can do to avoid this happening.

Hi, my son (4 months) just rolled over today, back to tummy. He slept at night in a bassinet in our room, day sleeps in his cot in his room. I'm not sure what to do now, I know the bassinet isn't safe now, but worry the cot isn't either as he can't roll tummy to back yet. He also hates tummy time and will place his face down on the floor, I'm terrified if I leave him in the cot at night that he could do that.

I have a bubba blue sleep pouch for a cot. It’s red nose approved but goes up to 12 months. Is it safe to use once baby is rolling?

Hi I have recently heard that you should dress the baby not the cot Baby should have more clothing on and no blankets on the cot I have not heard this before I use the raising Children SA and red nose resources to educate my clients and this has not been mentioned in either

Hello, I am wondering when it is safe to start using blankets instead of a sleeping bag for a toddler/child? My son is still in his Stokke cot with all sides on. Thank you!

Hi there, my 4 week old is exceptionally strong and likes to wriggle a lot. When I woke her up for her early morning feed she had scooted all the way over to the side of her bassinet. She sleeps in an arms up love to dream swaddle. Her bassinet is mesh sided. We put her on her back in the bassinet and the mattress is firm. She did the same thing on her day time nap today. Should I be concerned?

My newborn keeps moving her neck to one side when she sleeps. Does that cause any issue with the baby's neck or head shape long term? I am currently putting a small flat pillow under her head for support and repositioning. Please advise.

Our current sleeping setup for our future baby is a shared nursery/office space that my husband and I share. We plan to have the baby sleeping next to us in our bedroom in a bassinet for the first 6 to 12 months however will likely use the nursery for some daytime sleeps as well. My question is, my husband has a 3-D printer in the office which when it is running, makes the room smell like plastic. This smell goes away when you open the window for ventilation. Could this be an increased risk for the baby if it gets into the bedding that is in that room? (Fitted sheet). he only prints a few times a week and it would never be when the baby is sleeping in the room

Are toddler loft beds safe? My toddler is 3 and has been sleeping on a single floor bed for a couple of years now. I am looking at space saving options and wondered whether a toddler loft bed could work and still be safe? They are fairly low to the ground (around 1m tall).
