‼ Safety alert for sleep pillows ‼

🚨The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has issued a Safety Alert for baby sleep pillows following child fatalities in the UK and overseas.

The alert identifies the products as pillows or cushions for babies to sleep – or be placed – on unsupervised. Risks to the baby include suffocation and overheating which can lead to injury or, in some cases, death.

Please always remember to lay your baby in on a firm mattress, on their back with feet at the bottom of the cot, crib or moses basket with nothing else in there, including bumpers.

😴Please see the following links for advice and guidance on safe sleep:

❄️ No ice is ever safe ice – keep off frozen water ❄️

As the colder months set in, water can be especially dangerous. Cold water shock, strong currents, ice, and poor visibility all increase the risk of serious injury or drowning.
