My mother in law has asked if my 2 year old can have some animal toys in his cot at her house when she minds him once a week. We only allow him one comforter that he’s had since 7-8months as a sleep association. Is it dangerous to have teddies in a 2 year olds cot? I feel uneasy about it. But need some information to show her.

I have purchased a lambs wool cot underlay by baby rest for my 7month old. How safe are they to use?

I am just wondering if there is an article if someone could link me in regards to children sleeping in hoodies.. I’m incredibly against it however I’ve seen some people not have an issue. I find them as a chocking hazard for all children regardless of age. Just looking for more information.

Hello, I recently purchased a cot and mattress that is 120 x 60cm. It is hard to find fitted sheets of this size. Is it safe to have larger fitted sheets on the mattress?

Is it safe for a 2 year old to still sleep in a sleeping bag on a mattress on the floor at a day care centre?

I’m taking my nearly 5 month old camping, with 7 degree overnight temperatures expected. I’m going to layer her up and put her in a warm love to dream swaddle for sleeping. I’m conscious of her head/face getting cold. Would it ever be ok for me to put a beanie on her while she is sleeping to help keep her warm or still a definite no even when really cold? If no do you have any other suggestions to keep her warm enough?

I want to buy a sleeping bag for my 2.5 month old ready for Melbourne's winter and her being able to roll. I am looking at sleeping bags which also have long sleeves. 3.5 TOG. Would this overheat her?

Hi, I was wondering if it was safe to use a portable bed such as (https://northshorebaby.com.au/products/portable-baby-folding-bed?variant=32034088058939) for a baby and if so from what age? Thanks

not sure if you provide advice on air _ we just moved to a new house with a fireplace which works well but I am concerned our baby might be taking in harmful air.
