The Six Safe Sleep Recommendations

The safest place for baby to sleep is in their own safe space, with a safe mattress, and safe bedding. Baby should always be placed on their back to sleep, with their feet at the bottom of the bassinet or cot.
Choose a safe cot, which meets Australian standard AS/NZS 2172:2003.
Choose a safe mattress, which is firm, flat, right size for your safe cot, meets voluntary Australian standard (AS/NZS 8811.1:2013).
Choose safe bedding, which is lightweight, firmly tucked in and only pulled up to the chest.
If using one, choose a safe sleeping bag, which is well fitted across the neck and chest, with baby’s arms out, and no hood.
No soft surfaces or bulky items, don’t use any soft items in the cot. Soft items in the sleep space are dangerous and increase the risk of suffocation and overheating. This includes things like: doonas or loose blankets, pillows, cot bumpers, lambs wool and soft toys like a teddy or comforter.
