Ensure any soft toys are not placed in the sleep environment of baby less than 7 months of age.
Ensure large or multiple soft toys are not in baby’s sleep space.
Keep the cot free of large soft toys, pillows, bumpers, activity centres and anything else that could be ‘stacked’ to assist a young child/toddler to climb out of the cot.
