Safer Sleep In Winter season.

Winter can feel tough for families. With rising living costs and worries about heating, it’s completely normal to wonder how to keep your baby warm. Ideally, your baby’s sleep space should be between 16°C and 20°C.

It’s tempting to wrap your little one up so they’re extra snug. However it is important to remember babies can overheat. Overheating can increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). In fact, research shows babies are safer when they’re a bit cooler rather than too hot. (https://www.lullabytrust.org.uk/af/baby-safety/travel-and-weather/cold-weather/)

Safer sleep for babies

Every time your baby sleeps, it’s important to make sure they’re safe. Always put your baby on their back to sleep, in a clear, flat cot in your room. Use light blankets, don’t let them get too hot, and keep the room smoke-free. These simple things can help stop sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

If you're staying from home, (or short on space), or your baby’s sleep spot looks different or is unplanned this holiday season, take a moment to check it’s safe. No matter where your baby sleeps, always follow safer sleep tips to help protect them.
