Hi there,
I work as a childcare educator in the babies room as a trainee and have just been reading your website. Educators who have been working with children for 15+ years have recommended placing sleeping babies on their tummy because they ‘prefer it’ but after reading your website I was very surprised that a baby in fact should not be placed on its tummy to sleep. The centre I work at is very nice and goes by all policies and procedures and even exceeds in the standards by assessors. I was just wandering since I’m a casual and haven’t been working at the centre for very long compared to them, how I might raise awareness about this? I am very surprised and shocked that there has never been any of this information given to me in my 18 months working there.
Thank you very much and kind regards.
