Hello can children over 1 to 3 years wear hooded clothing (top) when having a nap or should they be removed? Thank you
Red Nose Education
While Red Nose has no specific recommendation for in relation to hoodies for 1 - 3yo, it is a generally accepted safety recommendation, that wearing a hoodie while sleeping may create a risk to the child.
This may be a risk of suffocation or strangulation.
Hooded clothing should be removed prior to placing 1-3yo for sleep/rest.
