Did you know that following a few simple sleep steps can make a huge difference in reducing the risk of SIDS? Since the Back to Sleep campaign started in 1991, rates have dropped by over 84%!

Here are some practical tips:

Back to Sleep: Always place your baby on their back in a safe space with a firm, flat mattress. Keep the crib or bassinet in your room.

Smoke-Free Zone: Don’t smoke during pregnancy and keep your baby away from smoke. Over a third of SIDS cases could be avoided if this is followed.
Safe Co-Sleeping: If you’re sharing a bed, avoid it if you’ve been drinking, are extremely tired, a smoker, or using drugs. Sleeping on sofas or armchairs with your baby is never safe.

Keep Comfortable: Babies shouldn’t get too hot or cold. Keep the room around 16–20°C, avoid hats in bed, and check if your baby’s chest or neck feels too warm.

Breastfeeding Benefits: If possible, breastfeed for at least 2 months as it can halve the risk of SIDS. The longer you continue, the more protection it offers.

Bronchiolitis is a common chest infection that affects babies and children under 2. It’s usually mild and can be treated at home, but it can sometimes be serious and require hospitalisation.

It occurs when there is swelling in the smallest airways in the lungs, called bronchioles, obstructing them and making it more difficult to breathe.

If your baby ever cries inconsolably and you can’t calm them, check if it could be a hair tourniquet.

A hair tourniquet, which occurs when a hair or other fibre, such as synthetic thread becomes tightly wrapped around most commonly a toe, and occasionally a finger, ge****ls, or other body parts. The hair or fibre can cut off the circulation to the appendage and damage the nerves, skin tissue and function of that body part.

Hair tourniquets are rare, but it is a medical emergency that needs to be identified and treated promptly to prevent any long-term damage to the tissue.

They are generally seen in infants and toddlers and who can't tell you what's wrong. If your little one becomes very upset or they're not acting themselves it is worth having a look around fingers, toes and ge****ls to make sure they do not have a hair tourniquet.

Look out for swelling, redness or an indentation in the appendage and if you find something seek medical attention immediately.

You’ll want to save this one!

Colder nights are coming!

It can be tricky to know how to dress your baby for the night when temperatures drop, so here’s a handy guide to help keep them cosy and safe this winter.

Please remember, this is just a guide.

The best way to check if your baby is warm enough is by feeling their chest or the back of their neck - they should feel comfortably warm, not cold or sweaty. If they feel too warm, remove a layer.

Please SHARE this post with any parents of babies who might find it helpful.

And don’t forget to SAVE it so you can easily refer back on those chilly nights!
