Fingers crossed there’s an answer for this horrid issue soon

The guidelines seem to change all the time. Hopefully there comes a time when theyll know exactly what’s right and it will be passed down from generation to generation

I have one concern with babies sleeping on their backs. They can so easily choke to death on their own vomit, as in fact adults can too. You would need to be a light sleeper to hear baby in time, if he/she made a noise. If you can safely raise the head of the bassinet or cot it may drain out of baby’s mouth. Also a risk with baby in baby capsules. I heard about one Mum who had to stop in traffic and put hazard lights on th rescue her baby as she had no chance at all to get to a safe place to park in peak hour traffic soon enough. Her baby was turning blue when she rescued him and rescusitated him, then called an Ambluance to meet them further up the road.

Thanks so much for sharing this SIDs information

Sids is one of my favourite organisations to support.

Thanks for sharing this information on Sids.

Always good to remind people about safe sleeping.

Such important information. Thank you. We worry about so much with little ones in the house, it’s good to know that we’re minimising risks wherever possible.

every parent is already doing these things. but sometimes anyone can make a little mistake which is why a reminder is very important like this one. its must read

Thanks for the updated article, very useful & informative.

A great article for all mums great tips thanks for sharing

thanks I cannot express how important it is to stay up to date with things like this

My grandson died of SIDS 13 years ago, he was just 30 days old. A terrible thing for any family to go through.

So important to read! Passing this one on!

I think number 4 needs expanding- a safe sleeping environment can mean different things to different people

  I agree with you. That is exactly what I thought while reading the article.
  Also it is all very well to place your baby at one end of the cot and shorten the sheet as show ni the photo, but once baby can roll over there is no way of preventing them rolling under the covers. Take it from me swaddling is not the answer to that for long. Some parents swaddle too tightly around their hips and legs too tightly which can cause permanent damage – there has been several warnings on TV, on-line sites and magazines.

SIDS has claimed the lives of 2 of my friends beautiful babies, this article is of such great importance as it can be very scary when bubs is home & your worried about this

its is such a great cause

Thanks for sharing – good information to know.
