Overwhelmed by baby sleep products? You’re not alone. With so many options (and conflicting advice) it can be hard to know what’s safest for your baby to sleep in. That’s why we’re supporting Safer Sleep Week and spreading the word that the safest cot is a clear cot.

💤Lie baby on their back at the foot of the cot (feet-to-foot), so they can’t wriggle down under bedding.
💤Keep the cot clear of unnecessary items.
💤Use a firm, flat, waterproof mattress.

Early Years Scotland March timetable

02/03/2026

13 children under the age of 11 died in the last 6 years after falling out of a window.

They weren’t protected by a window lock or restrictor because:
• One wasn’t fitted
• There was one, but it was broken
• There was one, but it had been disabled

If your window won’t lock or you need to open the window wider because of heat or cooking, please don’t leave young children alone in the room. If you have to leave the room, take your child with you.

Your baby’s age and stage of development makes them more vulnerable to dangerous products. So, what might be less risky for older children is a much bigger risk to babies.

• Your baby’s airway is narrower and more delicate than ours, so they can suffocate very quickly.
• As babies grow, they explore the world around them by putting things in their mouths. So they are at increased risk of swallowing something harmful or choking on small objects.
• Their muscle control isn’t fully developed. This means it’s hard for them to free themselves if they’re in danger.

That probably sounds worrying. But the good news is once you know how and why certain baby products are dangerous you can take simple steps to keep your baby safe.
