Nappy changes can feel never-ending. And, when you’re struggling with a wriggly baby multiple times a day, it can be tempting to leave everything you need stored close by.

But nappy sacks can kill small babies.

Young babies under six months naturally grasp things and pull them to their mouths, but then find it difficult to let go.

As nappy sacks are very thin, they can easily cling to a baby’s face as they breathe in and can tragically result in suffocation or choking.

So, remember to keep nappy sacks well out of reach of children when changing them and never put them in a buggy or cot.
