How To Make Up A Baby’s Cot?

When you are making up baby’s cot, keep in mind the following advice: 

  • Use a safe mattress: firm, clean and flat
  • Sleep baby on back
  • Keep head and face uncovered
  • Position baby’s feet at bottom of the cot
  • Tuck blankets in firmly or use a safe baby sleeping bag

Ensure your cot or portable cot complies with Australian Standards. When purchasing these products remember to look for the Australian Standard labelling.

“I found meeting people in real life who were going through a similar journey helped me greatly. It was so healing to be able to support one another, listen to and share our experiences without judgement or anyone feeling uncomfortable.
