I work at an early childhood centre in the nursery room. Lately a discussion had came up about rocking our cots on wheels to put children to sleep. One educator had stated its against sids to rock the cot. I havent been able to find any information on this. Can some please tell me if this is true.

Red Nose Education

I’m not sure where this information originated from.
Red Nose does not have information about risks associated with rocking a cot.

A related concern would be when baby is in a bassinet/rocking cradle that has a mechanism to “rock itself” where baby could be rocked into an unsafe position (especially if wrapped/swaddled) if not supervised.
