When room sharing with baby for 6-12 months, does the cot have to be next to the bed, or can it be at the foot of the bed - most of the references to the studies seems to say next to the bed? Thank you!

Babyrest Lambswool Underlay Portacot Strap Is this safe to use as extra padding for my portacot, I understand we shouldn’t use extra mattress or pillows etc but as this product says it’s for a portacot wondering if it is a safe product to add.... also regarding like a mattress protector and sheets, can they be added? My baby is 9 months old and have just gotten her sleep right and now about to go away, really want her to sleep through and be comfortable. Thanks

I am pregnant and having my first baby in September, I have been reading through your website to build my knowledge on how to best create a safe environment for my baby. One thing i am not clear on is waterproof mattress protectors. Are these safe to use from birth? or is there a certain age they should be prior to using. Also what are the best tips to look for in a mattress protector. Thank you so much, your site and advice is a wonderful resource.

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?
