safer sleep

Ten things, every sleep, day and night.

1. 01On the back.Every sleep, until they can roll both ways on their own.
2. 02In their own clear space.A cot, crib or Moses basket, with nothing else in it.
3. 03On a firm, flat, waterproof mattress.No dip, no padding, no raised sides.
4. 04Nothing soft.No pillows, duvets, bumpers, pods, nests, positioners or toys.
5. 05In your room for the first six months.Their own space, your room, every sleep.
6. 06Feet to the foot of the cot.If you use a blanket, tuck it no higher than the shoulders.
7. 07Head uncovered.No hats indoors.
8. 08Between 16 and 20 degrees.Cooler is safer than warmer.
9. 09Smoke free.Before birth and after.
10. 10Never on a sofa or armchair together.If you might fall asleep, put them down.
