Safer sleeping information
Safety is at the heart of everything that Grobag does, and Grobag
work in partnership with FSID (Foundation for the Study of Infant
Deaths), a leading baby charity to promote a safer sleeping
environment for babies.
" Babies who get too hot are at an increased risk
of cot death... getting a room thermometer will
help you create a safer sleeping environment
for your baby " Joyce Epstein, Director of FSID
Creating a safer environment for your baby
Cut smoking in pregnancy — fathers too! And don't let anyone
smoke in the same room as your baby
Place your baby on the back to sleep (and not on the front or side)
Do not let your baby get too hot, and keep your baby's head
uncovered
Place your baby with their feet to the foot of the cot, to prevent
them wriggling down under the covers
Never sleep with your baby on a sofa or armchair
The safest place for your baby to sleep is in a crib or cot in a
room with you for the first six months
It's especially
you (or your partner):
are a smoker, even if you never smoke in bed or at home
have been drinking alcohol
take medication or drugs that make you drowsy
feel very tired;
or if your baby:
was born before 37 weeks
weighed less than 2.5kg or 5½ lbs at birth
is less than three months old
Don't forget, accidents can happen: you might roll over in your
sleep and su ocate your baby; or your baby could get caught
between the wall and the bed, or could roll out of an adult bed
and be injured
Settling your baby to sleep (day and night) with a dummy can
reduce the risk of cot death, even if the dummy falls out while
your baby is asleep
Breastfeed your baby. Establish breastfeeding before starting to
use a dummy
dangerous for your baby to sleep in your bed if
