Hi there. I’m traveling to India with my 6 month old baby. Can you please give some advise on sleeping. Would a portable cot be ok for 2 weeks ? Thank you.
Red Nose Education
Ensure your portable cot meets the Mandatory Australian Standards, & is used in line with manufacturers recommendations.
Please also read the information provided by Red Nose, which includes:
Only use the firm, thin, well-fitting mattress that is supplied with the portable cot.
Never add a second mattress or additional padding under or over the mattress, which has been specifically designed for the portacot,
as baby may become trapped face down in gaps between the mattress and the sides.
