Hello, I'm just wondering if you have any resources or information in regard to giving a baby a bottle in their cot (supervised) in a child care setting. Thankyou,

Red Nose Education

The issue of baby having a bottle to go to sleep is not part of the Red Nose Safe Sleep guidelines, however, there is consistent information & recommendations to suggest that this may not be good practice.

Many Child Health & Safety Organizations do not recommend babies having a bottle when being placed for sleep & have consistent information & recommendations to suggest that this may not be good practice.

Raising Children’s Network does have some information.
