Red Nose Education

Red Nose does not suggest any specific type of material for cot/bassinet sheets, but recommends that any bedding is a tight fit, so that it does not become loose creating a risk of baby’s head & face being covered,

If you are considering the use of flannelette sheets it is important to remember not to overdress baby, which may lead to overheating.

Ensure there are no small “balls” of fabric that baby might be at risk of inhaling.
