At What Age Can I Introduce Cot Bumpers and Pillows?
Soft bedding may cover the baby’s face and obstruct breathing and/or cause overheating.
Soft bedding is dangerous in a cot and should not be used. Soft bedding includes pillows, quilts, doonas, soft toys and bumpers.
Older babies in a cot can be at an increased risk of accidents by using pillows, toys or bumpers as a way to climb up and may fall out of the cot.
It is safer to wait until the child starts to sleep in their own bed before introducing a pillow or other soft bedding.
