Thank you so much for this amazing information you provide. I have a beautiful fabric that I would like to use for my new granddaughter, it is 93% Organic Cotton and 7% organic elastane, and I'm wondering if this would this be suitable swaddling/wrapping?? It has 4-way stretch to enable the bubba to move but is firm enough to hold the arms in place. Does elastane cause irritation on baby's skin? Could it be tooooooo much stretch?? The fabric is so soft and beautiful but just want to check before I go ahead - I did try and she loved it, but it was just a short test run Before I attempt a full nap I wanted to check with you first. Thank you very much for your amazing information and support. We would be lost without your services. Kind regards Belinda xx

My baby is 7.5 months old and is usually a great sleeper but after starting daycare she has been up most of the nights and is seeking constant comfort. We are trying to introduce a comforter (a teddy) and I just wondered at this age would it be safe for her to have this in the cot with her at night ?

Moving my two year old to a bed - any recommendations for a suitable pillow? A lot of the “toddler” pillows I’ve seen seem too soft and thick.

Help! Mt 5 day old newborn can roll on to her side in the bassinet? I've spent all night trying to stop her. Are swaddling and sleep suits still safe ?

Hello, my 11 month old is about to start daycare. Usually she's breastfed to sleep and again during the night if she isn't able to settle herself. Am I able to have a small teddy sleep in her cot with her? Looking for something to be in the cot she can use as a comfort to get back to sleep if she needs it. She has never taken a bottle or dummy and not looking to introduce either. Doesn't currently have a comforter or favourite toy to sleep with. Is in a sleeping bag for night sleeps and nothing else in the cot with her. Unsure if teddy is a safe option. Thanks in advance.

Hi - wondering about sheepskins & whether these should be used in the cot? This was given to me by in-laws as they used this for their kids to put in the cot under a fitted sheet but I’m worried about overheating as I plan on using sleep suits. Thanks

Hi my son is 8 weeks old and has begun rolling from front to back during tummy time. He frequently wakes from startle reflex so we swaddle him. He has never rolled from back to front and only moves during sleep to break his arms out of swaddle. He has a much deeper sleep when swaddled, but do I need to stop this if he has begun to roll during playtime?

Does the guideline to sleep baby in parent’s room on their own sleep surface also apply to naps? In other words, should parents also be in the room with baby for nap time?

Hi there, a First Time Mum here, I am looking at using the Bloom Alma Mini Crib as the first sleeping space for my baby, however the mattress I've found to be most suitable (the Save Our Sleep mattress specifically designed to fit this crib and purportedly meeting voluntary standard AS/NZS standard 8811.1:2013) is more than 75mm thick, being 120mm thick. Can you please explain why mattresses should be no more than 75mm thick to avoid suffocation? Many thanks!

Hello We purchased an Uppababy with a portable cot. We were told that due to the flap at the bottom which allows airflow that it is safe to use use as a porta cot for overnight sleep overs. I am getting mixed msg online and don’t want to use in fear of the possibilities. Are you able to help? Cheers Abby

Our baby is seven weeks and will grow out of her bassinet soon. We have a cot for her, but can only get it into our bedroom alongside our curtains. The curtains are floor to ceiling and have no cords. I don't feel ready to move her to the nursery yet and want to keep her in our room for the recommended six to twelve months. Is there a suffocation risk around the placement of cots near curtains? I could see an issue in the future with her using them to climb out of the cot.

I know we shouldn’t have bumpers or anything in the cot with bub but my baby keeps rolling and hitting her during the night. Is there a safe solution?
