Red Nose Education

Red Nose does not have specific recommendation about type of clothing baby should (or should not) wear for bed.
How old is your baby?
Are you using a sleeping bag?
Certainly buttons & or studs can become a choking hazard if they were loose, & should be avoided in some circumstances.
To help you identify toys and other objects that can pose choking hazards, the ACCC has a free Choke Check tool, which mimics the size and shape of a child’s throat up to 36 months to show how easily an object can get stuck in an airway and block it.

Product Safety Australia develops & monitors all safety standards in Australia.
The main focus for sleepwear is on the flammability of the material.
