If you're using a baby sleeping bag, it should fit well around the shoulders so that they can't wriggle down inside it. Are cot bumpers really unsafe? The mattress needs to be kept clean and dry so get one with a wipe-clean covering or a removable top panel that you can wash at a high temperature. Or use a mattress protector so that if (well, when…) your baby dribbles or their nappy leaks, the mattress won’t get wet (Which, 2021b; Lullaby Trust, no date). Baby bedding: what should I use?

However, if sleeping together avoid a Moses basket or small cot as they could overheat (Lullaby Trust, no date). Second hand cots: are they safe?

Keep your baby smoke-free during pregnancy and after birth. According to The Lullaby Trust, Around 6 in 10 of sudden infant deaths could be avoided if no baby was exposed to smoke during pregnancy or around the home.Your baby should sleep in the same room as you, day and night, for the first six months. This is where a portable crib or Moses basket can come in handy. Mattresses come in either standard or continental size and go in their equivalent sized cot. Choose one that feels firm because your baby needs support while sleeping.
